Pros

Job Stability: As a major defense contractor, there is a sense of security here that you don't always get in the commercial tech sector. Benefits & Compensation: The benefits package (medical, 401k matching, and the Employee Scholar Program) is very competitive. They are willing to pay for advanced degrees, which is a massive plus if you are early or mid-career.

Cons

Bureaucracy: Things move slowly. Simple approvals can take weeks, and there are a lot of legacy processes that feel outdated. You have to be patient to get things done. Legacy Technology: Depending on the program you are placed on, you might be working with very old tech stacks or tools. It can sometimes feel difficult to keep your skills on the "cutting edge" if you get stuck on a sustainment project.

Cons

-Huge bureacracy! Will affect your ability to access systems, identify responsible employees, etc. -Military-type culture in which you may be required to move to a different business unit or organization, and you don't have much say -Geographically, must be at a power center (Charlotte, Arlington, Connecticut) to have opportunities to advance
