Pros

Very interesting technical work, excellent test facilities. Highly educated workforce. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Many layers of management. In recent years, beaurocracy is heavy reducing job satisfaction and company performance. Upper management have become a bottleneck for low impact decisions. For example, a program manager responsible for all major decisions on a $10 million per year development program can't approve a $500 business trip to a supplier; all business travel must be approved by 4 additional levels of management, taking weeks, while delaying the program.
