Pros

The managers that hired me were pretty classy guys. Most important thing was that they let a professional do his job. Culture was upbeat and positive during their tenure.

Cons

The bad drives out the good. Original managers were shipped out to new and distant locations. The replacements were a different breed altogether. Projects are done on a threadbare shoestring with too little staff and inadequate process. The result is a very buggy product delivered to the government customer, consisting of job-security code, very difficult to reverse engineer and repair. Design documentation resides only in the memory of departed engineers.
