Pros

Good work-life balance and good benefits! A lot of smart individuals and good people.

Cons

Poor management. It is too easy to become a manager but very hard to grow in the technical path. Stay away if you don't like brown-nosing but if you like easy brainless work just come to work on time and pretend you work hard as long as you answer all your emails and go to all the meetings.

Pros

- Large number of projects going on - Relocation/rotations available throughout the united states - One of very few places that do certain types of work (e.g., space systems, very large scale projects) - Vacation/work-life-balance was good where I worked [however, friends on other programs did have to deal with hellish 60+ hour mandatory weeks because of management screw ups related to vastly over-promising things to the customer]

Cons

- Crippling bureaucracy - Poor incentives. Pay was significantly below market for the area; you were generally expected to leave for a competitor if you wanted to make more money. This relates to the next bullet: - Good engineers generally left after a short period of time (< 2 years), either for more money, more interesting/fulfilling work, or just to avoid the stifling atmosphere of pointy-haired bosses. This constant attrition of actual good talent left behind a husk of barely competent mouth-breathers that one has to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
