Pros

Ok medical benefits, basic holidays, vacation, additional employee perks are good too. When projects are done perfectly and won appreciation is lauded for those who have dedicated their lives to the project(s).

Cons

Career advancement is difficult. Promotion / Advancement heavily biased towards seniority vs merit-based. Work/Life balance is stressed to everyone, but hard to do when work and deadlines are more important than health and sleep.

Pros

There were significant opportunities for lateral moves within the company, and a constant stream of new project opportunities. Employees were extremely bright, and committed to their customers' missions.

Cons

Senior management culture does not embrace collaboration, and tends to be militaristic in their approach to managing the corporation's employees. The sector of the company that provides support to Civilian Agencies is treated as a secondary thought to the corporation, as the infrastructure and back office is designed solely to support the DoD projects. The administrative red tape required by support functions is unwieldy and results in not being able to support clients quickly. Financial management and reporting is maintained in a complex system that does not lend itself to easy reporting by program managers. This is also negatively impacted by the reporting structures, wherein the financial managers do not report to the programs, and cannot be held accountable by program management. The corporation does not value its managers' customer intimacy.

Good company, but varies by business unit

Pros

Opportunities for advancement and lateral moves in a large variety of fields across the country and world Benefits include programs such as tuition reimbursement

Cons

Depending on the business unit, benefits and compensation vary and may not be competitive. Bureaucracy of such a large corporation can be unwieldy. For example, though tuition reimbursement is offered, it could take months to wade through the various levels of approval to receive the reimbursement.
