Pros

The change that leadership is leading now is in the right direction. Leading change is always a challenge (and is usually disruptive) but CTC's leadership is focused on achieving success while maintaining the integrity and honesty they're known for. That can be a cold shower for some, and can (and has) caused layoffs, but for others who remain, it can be refreshing and give them something to focus on that can enable them to ride out the bumps.

Cons

The DoD contract and money environment is a challenge for everyone right now. The continued effects of sequestration added to Lowest Price/Technically Acceptable (LPTA) contracting is driving down margins and salaries across the board for big and small contracts. That would seem good for the government. However, those influences can force contract awards to low-ball but winning companies that can end up unable to fulfill their requirements within the award price. Eventually, that damages the entire contracting process and especially affects those who act with integrity. Unfortunately, in the near future, it will get worse for DoD and defense contractors before it gets better. Meanwhile, CTC is stuck fighting with everyone else for scarce contracts and money.
