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).
