Pros

Good for a contracting group. Some very talented people, sharp, friendly, helpful, with high professional standards. If you are junior or mid-level you will learn a lot. If you are senior to very senior, and don't want to go further, you can meet some nice colleagues.

Cons

Very little room to grow and even less to be promoted. C-suite wants to make money so while they continue to get bonuses, other salaries will stagnate. Understandable really because most fed space projects don't have the cushion to bill very senior people. It is not to Aquilent's advantage to promote you. Mid-level worker bees bring in the most money. The gap between bill rate in and salary paid out needs to be as wide as possible for best profit flow. Sadly, they are also pretty cheap with equipment and software. People have to use personal tools all the time.

Pros

Good benefits, internal training seminars, free pizza, corporate sponsored events and parties, interesting and varied work and customers, casual dress code

Cons

Detached, unfriendly executive management, CYA corporate culture created by senior leadership, bait and switch hiring practices (you're brought in with promises of true profit sharing, career development and promotion opportunities and wind up with a limited, one-dimensional path and no consideration for your own career aspirations or next level promotions). The environment is high stress and low morale. It's truly unfortunate because it used to be a great place to work.
