Pros

the only good thing about this job is the 9/80 schedule, which still doesnt make it worth it.

Cons

This is by far the worst organization I have ever worked for. The company is so large that its a complete mess. Dont expect to actually be trained on your job, expect to come in and be thrown right in to work the hardest youll ever work and barely being able to figure it out as you go, all to see other employees barely lift a finger. You'll have leads that dont do anything, that never help when you need it, never show you things, and youll complain to management about them and they will get promoted. There is extreme favoritism played here along with the nepotism. If you want to move up in the company, well you better be in with the execs. The benefits are below average and the PTO is even worse. I am going on my second year with the company, and I have even moved to different departments and from what Ive seen, its all bad. STAY AWAY - its not worth it.

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.
