Pros

Strong company with great numbers for investors. Good heritage of notable achievements. Good benefits. Good management culture in my experience.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business being mostly government contract driven, the company has been cutting back on all kinds of things over the last few years including staffing. Their are fewer opportunities to grow/advance in the area that I worked and this part of the company is being sold or divested due to underperformance.

Pros

Overall, the company has a wide portfolio of security capabilities. There are facilities throughout the world. There are many opportunities for cutting edge research and development.

Cons

The current management has not lived up to the mantra of "full-spectrum leadership" The mission (never forget who we are working for) and the lack of value of the individual employee has made it an awful place to work

Pros

Stable company that can be either low-stress if you go with the flow, or high-pressure if you want to try to challenge the status quo.

Cons

The technologies and development practices used are typically behind the times compared to most private companies. You can easily fall into a very niche role and lost the opportunity to maintain or grow any other skillsets. Promotion and job performance is very dependent on working within the established frameworks rather than trying to improve processes or innovate.
