Pros

Lunchtime yoga. Social clubs like volleyball, chess, wine, music and surfing. They contribute over 10% to retirement and it increases with your age. High salaries. No micro-managing. Management treats us like adults and experts in our field, then lets us do our work. Friendly atmosphere. There is a myth that the organization is pro military industrial complex, but it's not -- it is non-partisan and non-biased.

Cons

Wish we could telecommute more.
