Pros

Very smart working level individuals and those who truly want to make a difference

Cons

The epitome of cronyism in nearly all management and leadership position. Many engineers and leads in the Defense area have homesteaded and created a false sense of competency by hiding behind the "CLASSIFIED" caveat. Most of the VPs are truly trying to lead by example but have fallen prey to the idea that they put individuals in charge of programs and projects merely because they know the person rather than ferreting out the most qualified to lead. Management continually takes the best workers away from successful programs to remedy the bad decisions in programs that are either falling behind or there is a huge lack of forward progress.

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.
