Pros

Decent benefits. 9/80 schedule. Some innovative and talented people (although most either leave or are let go).

Cons

Incompetent management at all levels. Flat structure in Austin with cronyism rampant. Good ole boy approach. The Austin operation uses a vindictive approach with poor expertise in leadership, management, software development, or the defense industry. The studio is led by intimidation and retaliation. The recent acquisition of private ownership is the first sign that the end is near. Consolidation with Orlando software operations will not be pretty. This company lays off people regularly while promoting at the top.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
