Pros

- Work/Life balance - Decent starting pay - Enjoyable environment. Though, one could argue that this depends on the team you're working on.

Cons

- As others have said, your experience depends heavily on the project that you're working on. - Pay raises / promotions are few and far between. There is a good chance you will receive a good review at the end of the year and not get a promotion or a raise. - Management / Upper management don't really seem to have a good grasp on the programs that they're managing. - Tech stack is incredibly dated. The experience you get will feel useless depending on the program you're on.

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).
