Pros

Good benefits, relaxed work environment, reasonable tasking. The team environment is pretty good but the recognition of staffing capabilities doesn't exist. The company absorbed multiple smaller corporations and is still absorbing the multiple cultures. They are really trying but they are just not in good touch with their staff.

Cons

no career ladder, management unaware of technical capabilities of staff, crisis management of staff,Communication is management speaking to the technical staff. There is excellent talent within the corporation but there is little attempt to take advantage of previous or current skills. Technical talent is considered interchangeable without considering positive or negative skills.

Pros

If you can secure work overseas it's a great way to travel the world and live on the economy BUT have the reach-back capability of the U.S. military base (APO/FPO box, BX, etc...) If you get on the right contract it can be very rewarding. NGIT will also work with you to secure employment at another location if you lose coverage.

Cons

Lack of training, lack of upward career progression. To be fair most contracting companies have the same problem. Moving from contract to contract can be a drag but some people like that sort of thing.
