Pros

Opportunities to travel globally and work on different projects. Better than average pay at the expense of lower than average PTO/Benefits.

Cons

Political BS, empty promises. The company values employees only if you happen to get into the right circles. Otherwise you are a piece of meat, expendable at the end of each project.

Pros

A more generous employer than many government software contracting companies in this area. A very appropriate work-life balance, and accommodating of family life. Somewhat shields workers from the less pleasant aspects of government contracting work. Generally a friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Very by the books, which isn't uncommon amongst government contracting firms. Though a good or even very good company to work for, it doesn't particularly stand out.
