Pros

You get to travel around and see a lot of interesting places. Get them to pay for your security clearances and get out. This place is a waste of time.

Cons

You have to be in a "clique" to get deployed to the nice or high paying sites. Management is terrible, they end up promoting people who they cant fire for any legal reason but are too inept to be safe working on aircraft. Its a great big scam, you either put your knees and lips to work or you get stuck with the crap work with no chance to get out and make some money.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
