Pros

Directly benefits our US military/warfighters, pays well, includes bonuses and a pension, 9/80 work schedule (9 hour days with every other Friday off), holiday shut down from x-mas to New Years, some areas of the company have flexibility to work from home, training programs recently put in place to help with career progression, good communication from leadership in the form of regular town hall meetings, privately owned and does not report to shareholders.

Cons

The company is slowly reeling back the Work from Home option and asking people to be in office more, largely run by older white men, at times uneven distribution of workloads, currently a slow down of business resulted in a few rounds of layoffs in the last few years
