Pros

Interesting domain. Impact on real world operations in the news every day. Business is good, now and future outlook. Company rarely fires people, so job security is good for most employees.

Cons

Engineering driven culture minimizes impact/influence of management. Company success has been almost exclusively in sole source work, so company has not had to compete for its success. This has resulted in poor processes and low competency in many core functional areas of the company. Career advancement opportunities are limited. Salaries are not competitive with market and raises are low.
