Pros

Great people! I’ve worked at several locations and everyone is always so nice and helpful. Also lots of opportunity to move around and try new things.

Cons

More of an industry problem, but lots of red tape limiting technology stacks. Lots of legacy products are in use and it’s almost impossible to get new tech into classified environments. This limits how much engineers are able to explains their toolset and prevents project optimization.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
