Pros

Team is great to work with. Work is fun if you like to travel. Home balance was great, currently swinging away from that direction.

Cons

Promotion system is terrible and very ambiguous. New hires get brought in at a much higher pay than long time employees are currently at. Senior management (director) doesn't value the skills or years of experience using the product while in the military brings. Terrible attrition. Every other military contractor pays better, again new hires are paid often 20% better than employees of 5 years.

Pros

As a contractor you can enjoy high pay if you negotiate it with the approved Indian based (ok US based but Indian controlled) structure. The busines prospects also look promising. Assurity of Income due to Defense Industrial Complex. The willingness to set aside major plant operations and redirect security personel to protect Visiting VIP Cabinet Level Appointees so they can perform Security Theater (I would call it Political Messaging by current Government leaders in the Department of War since the scripted end product was released for public consumption.) This ability to successfully chase taxpayers dollars will serve the company well in the near future.

Cons

The need to have US Citizens work most of the positions is a security requirement. Yet the reality is that means very little when those US Citizens are scrutinized almost completely by entities in another country. An organization cited US Law about hiring decisions and then gave a Calcutta address to snail mail / contact if an adverse decision was used.
