Pros

When I started in 2008, they were 100% behind their mission. However, by 2011, regardless of what their mission stated, they really operated to simply make money. They used to be customer and employee focused and developed the best and brightest...not anymore.

Cons

Lost sight of their mission. Too focused on making money driving butts in seats mentality. Hire low end resources and fail to develop talent. Backstabbing and infighting drives out the true talent. Recognizes the poor performers who kiss butts and stab other in the back.

Just another defense contractor.

Pros

Above market pay and benefits. The unpaid leave benefit allows employees to take up to a month off per year in addition to a handsome vacation benefit. Everything else is about the same all the rest of the defense contractor community (medical, dental, vision, 401k, tuition assistance, etc.)

Cons

Leadership is constantly attempting to harvest the great ideas of its staff. I say harvest because the donation or facilitation of ideas (business development) must happen outside of normal business hours (meaning no overhead charge number). Participation isn't mandatory but it influences company culture (work life balance).
