Business outlook
Pros
Job security and high salary (for engineers). Large Scale programs and projects. Good location next to URBN Outfitters; You'll work next door to models and hipsters. You don't have to invent anything, you just need to figure out how to apply new technology to old problems. Management appreciates hard workers.
Cons
Tools and software are old and full of glitches. Facilities are showing their age. Lots of overhead on productivity. Resources are scarce. Every single thing takes far longer than in the private sector. "Government employee" mentalities can be cancerous.
