Pros

There is plenty of work to be done = job security. The people you meet and work with are great.

Cons

If you are retired military you are a shoe in for a promotion, but if you did not you are screwed. Some teams are ran like a military unit, meaning you are expected to bend over backward for the greater good, but no compensation for long hours or extra $$. The people that have been there for years are regularly asked to train their new boss, for the promotion they were looking forward to. As a former service member myself I have been around too much of the good ol' boys club. That is why many of us did not stay in the military.

Pros

Lots of structure, tools and resources to do the job.

Culture was like a Principal's office. Focus on little rules that overshadow overall work output.
