Very old fashioned - Software Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

Low bar for success, can be low stress if you just don't care. Poor work quality just means maintenance contracts can be extended, so there's very little incentive to actually do a good job. Not the worst way to grind out a simple life and eventually retire.

Cons

Low pay. Govt contracting requires lots of "process". Most days are spent on meetings, planning, documentation, etc and very little real work gets done.

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).
