Very stable, great people, lots of bureaucracy

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very stable, lots of job security. Recently they did layoffs, but voluntary ones at that, with fantastic retirement packages. They have government contacts secured years in advance so income is fairly predictable.

Cons

The security is necessary but can be a hassle. No cellphones in certain areas, guards everywhere, but you get used to it.
