Pros

Great place to start your career. Lots of good employees to help you advance your career. 4.5% on match on 6% contribution to 401k is good for a large company. Health incentives of $450 in Amazon gift cards is nice. 20% Discounts for verizon wireless.

Cons

Haven't won any new contracts in Maryland area in over 8 years. Large company attitudes of the employee should bend over backwards for the good of the company like working for free during all hands meetings and training. Extremely high overhead cost forces them to be stingy on pay and benefits. Promotions are more about who you know then how well you perform. Can't compete with some of the other contractors in terms of benefits and pay.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
