Pros

- Work-life balance - Tuition Reimbursement - Breadth of opportunity to work on diverse projects - Challenging project opportunities - Ability to change projects, lateral career moves

Cons

- Poor performing employees are abundant and often not disciplined; most likely a result of complicated HR procedures for discipline all focused on covering the company's legal interests instead of "doing what's right"; coincidentally a "core value". - Not a lot of training opportunities and/or untimely and unrelated to job duties - Pay not commensurate with performance - Complex system to determine pay, promotions are hard to come by and tied more to years of service - Lower levels are easier to get promoted up. Upper levels become slow and far between. Bands are crowded higher up leading to "crowding"; making promotions few and far between. - New benefits package spun as "better", but more out-of-pocket compared to old plans.

Pros

Diverse workset with diverse set of customers. Flexibility to move from a small program activity to a large program. Also flexiblity to move between organizations and sites nation wide.

Cons

Government contracting in the defense industry tends to have budgets up and down. Currently in a down swing and numerous layoffs have and will continue for the next year or so.
