Pros

Easy to get hired and good work life balance. Literally that's all I've got.

Cons

There is zero incentive or care for their employees below the "management" level. You are 100% treated as a cog in a wheel. Limited PTO, that includes your sick leave and benefits packages that foist the vast majority of cost off onto the employee. Zero opportunity for growth. Do not expect any type of meritorious recognition. Management, at least on my project, was completely incompetent and NO, ZERO, ZILCH idea of what I did, let alone how I did it. Management had zero professional boundaries and was dramatic to a fault.

Pros

There are no Pros to consider.

Cons

Received tentative offer in 2016 contingent on obtaining clearance. Clearance awarded in 2017 but the offer and condition of work was changed due to new contract award. Also, the new offer letter contained a point of contact to reach if had questions but the person never responded to emails that was sent. I ended up going back and forth with another HR rep who basically stated there was no room for change.
