Pros

no stress; extreme schedule flexibility; great travel opportunities; little competition from peers, easy to stand out; convenient commute; relaxed atmosphere; job security (if contract in place)

Cons

abundant incompetence at all levels; impossible to get fired, so entire departments are dumbed down as good people leave for better places while the unemployable remain; no ambition for finding new work as contracts wind down; not a merit-based organization

Pros

At one time they heavily promoted the JHU distance learning Graduate Systems Engineering program and encouraged many of their SE's to particiapte in this fully paid for curriculum. 9/80 work week schedule is still their most popular employee benefit. Many very smart and dedicated engineers & techs work there

Cons

Very low morale due lack of work, high job insecurity due to continuous mgmt. re-orgs each followed by a series of RIF's. Little to no opportunity for promotions, much "blamstorming" when things go sour on programs, little to no support for employees who need to shift to new job assignments when they run out of work, little actionable performance review feedback from continously changing functional mgmt.
