Pros

Great products that support our country. Overall it is a fairly secure place to work, although one where it is easy to get complacent. It seems that in the past 5-6 years, there has been a noticeable change in atmosphere and past "silo" type mentalities are slowly being broken down. The technologies are impressive, and fun to work with. The people are good, with a lot of former military, and there is a great sense of duty and responsibility that permeates all levels of the company.

Cons

Promotion process is rather "by the book" and there is not much working with that. Exceptional talent will have to perform first, and then be rewarded.

Pros

The comany has a great name, a great image, and takes care of their employees. Flexible work schedules with compensatory time (trading overtime for vacation) further improves work + life balance. Knowing you are helping to defend this wonderful country is a great added bonus.

Cons

The company is oversized, bloated, and bureaucratic do to the nature of business conducted with the Department of Defense. It takes forever and costs gazillions to make anything happen. Facilities are outdated (desks, cubicles, etc) and cubicle life is not fun. No natural light in the buildings. Sometimes you feel like a tiny cog in a huge complex machine wondering if you actually make a difference.
