Pros

The Pittsburgh office (a.k.a GDViz) has a great culture, friendly people, and comfortable work spaces. I've never had any issues with other employees either on or off projects as there is a focus on hiring for both engineering abilities and excellent cultural fit. The work makes an impact in the real world. Most contracts are with government agencies and the software is used in mission critical situations. Work hours are flexible. Projects are fairly free to customize their own agile process, and management is not heavy handed. The organization is relatively flat, with title differences corresponding to role rather than hierarchy.

Cons

As with all contract work, most of the deadlines are firm. Without careful planning some projects end up in a finish line sprint, requiring some extra time from employees.

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).
