      Pros

      The company provides great benefits once you are 100% vested. Health, pension, 401K.

      Cons

      Management is bad. Managers don't really know the process sometimes and just micromanage others without knowing the correct way of doing things. This is how you fail audits!!!!!

      Pros

      The pay is competitive and you can qualify for an annual bonus. The technology is very interesting and you get to work with a lot military personnel, who are always appreciative of your hard work. Small tuition reimbursement and you have the ability to take computer training courses.

      Cons

      Pour management and way to many "Chiefs". No career paths or set expectations for most employees. Don't expect to advance if you are younger. I've been told more then once that because I am young and have more potential, I should not expect to be promoted ahead of more senior co-workers. Leadership is seriously lacking and most are more then willing to throw you under the bus to get ahead. The culture is also unpleasant, there is no "team" mentality. Most departments would rather fight against each other than work together.

      Good place to make a lot of money in a short amount of time. Not somewhere you'd want to retire from.

      Pros

      Money. If you deploy overseas, you get your base pay plus ~80% on top of that depending where they send you. Working 12 hours a day 7 days a week it's easy to make 100k during the first year. Company provided tooling.

      Cons

      Management sucks. The company has thousands of employees but is still ran like there are only 100. There are so many people coming and going it's hard to establish yourself among others. Yearly raises are pathetic. Has the whole military style "Hurry up and wait" vibe.
