Pros
Huge company with lots of opportunities across the country. Defense jobs can be volatile at times, and having the mass of a 100,000+ employee company usually makes it easy to stay employed if programs get cancelled, downsized, etc.
Cons
Huge company. Sometimes perks can get pinched as the company tries to reign in spending. Also can be tough to get merit based promotions. In fact, i've never heard of an employee getting a true merit based promotion that wasn't into a management position.
