Business Outlook

Pros

Work was interesting on the right team. Fortunately, I worked on couple of cool projects. Pension is nice if you are happy staying on your team for a few years. Coworkers are all intelligent, nice, hard working people who always seemed happy to help.

Cons

Culture can be toxic on the wrong team. My project/team Sprints were very fast paced relative to what the DoD industry usually has. Technology stack is pretty stagnant. Adding modern development tools into the development process would greatly increase efficiency and better align with what students use in school nowadays.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working on demos is fun, albeit a little stressful

Cons

There are some efforts to make an agile development environment but waterfalls still exist. Projects are often dropped or new ones pop up so you will be pulled in many different directions, more likely a symptom of understaffing.
