      Pros

      Every other Friday off Cool Technology Three year vested pension (take it and run) Poway has nice weather (i am only still writing because I needed twenty words)

      Cons

      Vacation and sick days combined. Zero-employee development. Your rank in the military determines where you can go. Do nothing an get paid mentality. Zero recognition for key contributors

      Pros

      Reasonable work schedule with few managers expecting regular long work weeks Friendly co-workers are the biggest plus okay benefits although the health plan continues to erode every year

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic culture with workers stuck in silos and little contact between groups Very little internal advancement, most senior positions are filled externally Management by responding to crises and little vision other than milking cash from contracts

      Pros

      I could write pages here, but I loved the work that I did and I am proud of it, Because of that, I would be glad to be hired again and do work there today.

      Cons

      I might be able to write pages here also, but there were many good techs (twenty to thirty?) who were fired in a relatively short time frame ( under a year?) - including me. Some of the things which were accomplishments were sometimes either not seen or sometimes were seen as the opposite.
