Pros

Smart people, amazing programs, good benefits, flexible hours, mostly reasonable stress levels.

Cons

Hard to make career progress (especially for women), poor performers are not dealt with, good people end up leaving. Lost many major proposals in recent years. Management structure too top heavy / high overhead costs. HR doesn't help you with anything, they turn problems back on to the people who report them. Giant gap between good leaders and poor ones, and if you have a poor one, your career will go nowhere even if you work extremely hard and implement projects that save time/money.

Pros

Amazing mentors, fantastic work life balance, and challenging and interesting work. Best place I could’ve asked to launch my career. This could very well be group/department dependent though, I think I got super lucky there with my manager, mentors, and team.

Cons

Almost all benefits got worse after BAE acquisition.
