Pros

Fellow employees are good, hard-working and well-intended.

Cons

CEO's #1 focus is shareholders. Management's #1 focus is their next promotion. Salaries are stagnant and are often less than the Federal COLA's. Bonuses go to the top 1%. Promotions are politically driven within a "good ol' boy network." Employees are expected to brag about their accomplishments at review time because managers are too busy promoting themselves to know what their staff are doing. Seagull management style is rampant.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
