Pros

It's a decent job for a big, stable company. They do a lot of military as well as unclassified work, so there's some opportunity to move around, laterally. You'll have an opportunity to get a security clearance doing that, so that's a help. But there's never any time to review lessons learned, it's always just "on to the next project".

Cons

Upper management seems to think we all care about quality, but middle management only cares about making the contract bonus. I'd love to do a better job, but when management bids an 18 month task to be done in 14 months, with a bonus if it's done in 12 months, well guess what? It's done (poorly) in 12 months.

Pros

Interesting work that contributes to the country. Good at trying in the purpose of current tasking to end goals. Answering the question of 'Why does this matter' or 'Why does my job matter'. Great advancement oportunities and potential. If you are a hard worker and quick at learning new stuff - you can do well. Less politics than many other places. Good at conducting and supporting training oportunities. Offer dozens of technical classes to expand your skill set. Feed back on performance. Great people to work with.

Cons

Large company with bueracracy, though less than many others. Lots of work - it will take over your life if you let it.
