Pros

You will get to work on a lot of interesting projects (but that is the case with any defense contractor). The office has a lot of amenities -- they just remodeled and it is very nice. They give good PTO benefits They give a good 401K match (that is hard for other companies to compete with). You get exposed to a wide variety of tech stacks. You get to work on multiple different projects -- keeping you relevant in the industry.

Cons

- The benefits are not even close to as good as when I started. They really have cut our benefits significantly. - Promotions are extremely rare - In my opinion, they pay way under market rate for the skills they require. - Lack of responsibility in management. - They have a tendency to just through you on new projects and not give you the proper training needed to be functional.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
