      Pros

      Good starting pay out of school. Good benefits, paid holidays.

      Cons

      Politics, Good Old Boys Club atmosphere, managers sleeping with subordinates, giving away Government assets to friends, sexisim, ageism, retaliation for whistle blowing, constant backstabbing from coworkers and management. Lower than cost of living annual pay increases if you make waves. (ie. 2% or less) Wife/Husband swapping while on deployment. Misappropriation of government money and assets. Frequent verbal disparagement from coworkers that goes unchecked by management and HR. Frequent verbal disparagement of gays and lesbians. The culture is one of intolerance.

      Pros

      Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

      Cons

      Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

      Pros

      9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

      Cons

      Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
