Pros

Good pay and benefits, flexible work schedule with half days on Fridays. Most people are nice. There is a lot of opportunity especially if you are willing to travel. Overall it's a good company to work for.

Cons

The job can be very stressful at times. There are so many deadlines to meet sometimes it's difficult to prioritze. It's so busy at times it's hard to take time off.

Great for the Long Haul...

Pros

If you do an outstanding job, there are opportunities that allow you to move forward in your career.

Cons

Once you reach a certain level within the company, the sky is the limit. However, until you reach that level... opportunities and "perks" are non-existent... Also transferability... Once your assignment is complete, you are somewhat on your own to find your next project...

Great Company

Pros

The pay and benefits was a little more than the average defense contractor. The on-boarding process was smooth and easy. Management was some of the best I have ever worked with.

Cons

I actually cannot think of a single negative thing to say about my time with the company. It was a pleasant experience, and I would be happy to work for them again someday.
