Pros

Their 9-80 schedule is very nice. The hours are usually quite flexible, and many people seem to enjoy doing there job. Management is understanding and flexible on work-life balance. Jobs are not super stressful as they can be with other companies. They still offer Reimbursement for Grad Degrees which is a great perk.

Cons

It can be very difficult to get promotions there, especially now that the government is spending less on military. There are few benefits (basic health coverage, dental, eyemed). No Free Food or other fringe benefits. Management can hinder progress, as the company is top-heavy. Heavy Process based development that doesn't add value. I imagine they will be changing this over the next few years.

Pros

1. Depending on the program you're working on, there are some truly amazing things you'll be a part of developing. 2. Decent work/life balance. 3. Great people to work with.

Cons

1. Below average salary. 2. Promotions are almost non-existent. Without a dedicated manager pushing for your advancement, you will remain the same job level and pay grade for years. 3. Because of the tight security policies in place, expect to be working with very outdated software libraries, tools, etc. 4. Senior management clueless about the core technologies. 5. Over promise (knowingly) - under deliver: very typical.
