Pros

Great culture -- people willing to go above when it counts but also have lives to live. Varies with business units, though. Lots of amazing missions they're working. So many cool projects. Good compensation. Lots of smart and skilled engineers.

Cons

Some amenities and benefits not up to par with tech in the area. Lots of great work means they're spread thin sometimes. Too many company values makes it messy. Timelines can be detached from reality sometimes.
