Pros

Great people and supportive environment - there's always someone who can and will help you out when you're not sure on something. Benefits are pretty solid - I've had at least one pay-rise each year here, as well as the annual bonus. I also had paid overtime before my promotion to an exec level. Investment in facilities and people is continuous - the company really wants it's employees to thrive. As a STEM business the people diversity is limited but it is improving each year and the commitments to inclusion and belonging are very real and visible as an employee.

Cons

It's a rapidly growing company with relatively frequent changes to organisational hierarchies which can get a bit confusing - particularly when starting here. Being a defence company means a lot of red tape and (sometimes overly so) cautious processes. This means some changes can be slow compared to other industries (e.g. onboarding a new tech tool or supplier).
