Pros
Company has over the last few years built a very strong position in embedded processing for the defense industry. The current work force is an interesting mix of senior-expert baby boomers and young people just starting out. Salaries are competitive and supported by performance-driven bonuses paid every 6 months. There is a decent 401k match and a strong employee stock ownership program. Current physical plant is old, most people work in conventional cubicles, but move to a new facility is being planned. Overall an interesting place to learn about and utilize your expertise in high performance hardware and software.
Cons
Company went through some very tough times 3-5 years ago (heavy layoffs) and there are some lingering bad feelings from a few folks and also some residual bad reviews on social media. In addition, it is pretty much exclusively defense work so the environment is a driven more by need to know rather than by need to share. The location is currently very isolated but that is changing.
