Pros

Salaries are generally above average. Long hours for engineers. They hire well so there is little to no dead weight - overall people are competent and motivated.

Cons

Total boom and bust business. Success depends on execution to schedule and focus on schedule is piercing and relentless. Culture encourages risk - maybe too much risk for the company's continued stability and health.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
