Pros

My job is challenging. I was quickly put into a leadership role. My manager pushes us to produce quality work. Job stability appears to be excellent. For me, the location is ideal as I am close to my family and friends (unlike my previous job). All overtime is paid beyond 40 hours/week. The 9/80 program that allows employees to work alternating 44 and 36 hour weeks and get every other Friday off is a big plus. The week off between Christmas and New Years is also a nice benefit. The relocation package was good.

Cons

There are no bonuses or profit sharing, stock options, stock purchase plan, etc. Salaries could be a more competitive, particularly considering the lack of an incentive plan.

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at. And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
