Pros

not too many right now. There is certainly potential and talented people if the weight of the bureaucracy and the inertia of doing things the old way can be overcome.

Cons

The company is unstable due to being unprepared to handle sequestration (which everybody know about years in advance), management is thrashing about trying anything that does not require real change or does not endanger the status quo of the upper management itself; it is a traditional who you know and who your friends are, not your ability to do your job that gets you ahead here.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
