Pros

Interesting projects and flexible work hours.

Cons

Long product cycles. Employees often don't see a project to delivery before being reassigned. It is very rare an employee can actually participate the the refinement of a product leveraging lessons learned in the previous iteration. As a defense contractor with spending on such projects to likely become less and less and the coming years, opportunities for growth are dwindling.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
