Pros

- Freedom to explore/learn various aspects of the software developed - Great leadership by technical leads - No micromanaging of work being done - Minimal required meetings--more time to program - No toxic culture, very friendly environment - Access to cutting-edge technology (e.g., beefy work laptops, workstations, etc.)

Cons

- Legacy components that are slowly being upgraded - Inconsistent/bloated software requirements due to lack of direction by customers/program managers) - Corporate HR/IT pains (e.g., arbitrary promotion slots available, inconsistent raises, etc.) - Defense will always pay less than other areas of the technology market

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
