Pros

Great vacation, health benefits, work schedule and pay. Interesting problems to solve. Opportunity to get a clearance which might open doors down the road with other defense companies.

Cons

The vacation hours, health benefits, and schedule flexibility got progressively worse over the 10 years I worked there in order to "be more competitive". Some years they froze pay increases company wide. Huge company with inflexible policies that dictate everything. Numerous layers of management that get progressively more out of touch with operations the higher they go, but are more empowered to make sweeping decisions and frequently do. Training program was a bad joke. IT department blocks employees from using most useful tools.

Pros

Great Benefits if transferring to full-time status. Extremely established leadership hierarchy. Many experienced engineers willing to help develop a newer engineers' skill set.

Cons

If you primarily enjoy being more hands-on environments smaller companies might be a better option. Not necessarily a con but becoming 'shoe-boxed' is much more likely at a larger organization.
