Pros

Usually a decent work-life balance. Job security: even if a project drops, they'll try to find a way to shift you to another part of the company. You're always working on something new. Lots of room to learn and grow, expand and shift your role/responsibilities Fair pay scale, decent bonuses

Cons

As a government contractor, customer funding can shift because of administration change, which can affect work They have allowed DEI and woke policies gain a foothold, even though they are a privately-owned company Slow to adapt to new technologies and ways of operating

Pros

There is a lot of access here to interesting technologies Coasting is easy

Cons

The more managers and "senior" level roles become involved in projects, the more issues occur. A lot of these positions can't even do the work themselves so it's not a surprise when they have a failure since they are unable to understand true nature of work. The best leaders here are the ones who succeeded in a technical role before moving into a leadership one. The pay and raises seem low but really that is a problem of san diego as a whole due to rich people moving here.
