      Pros

      Very collegial, yet you definitely have a lot of latitude to do your job how you want to. Good benefits package. Nice people.

      Cons

      Very flat. Very little opportunity for career advancement within the company. A good place to close out your career and share your expertise of having actually worked in DoD, rather than looking to advance your own goals
