Pros

- Good pay with respect to the job market. - Good work life balance with respect to similar companies. - Some projects are actually interesting and not some nebulous, abstract concept.

Cons

- Leadership is fragmented amongst different divisions, so one site may be run like a well oiled machine while another site may be filled with headless chickens. Kind of hit or miss. - Lack of true senior leaders or domain experts in my particular division. - Lack of cross-collaboration or cross-utilization of knowledge and resources. Probably due to several recent company acquisitions. - Some parts of the IT infra are hopelessly stuck 10 years behind, which actually hinders our engineering progress. Lots of red tape in IT.

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.
