Pros
HR organization is very employee focussed and the company does try to create a small biz culture with all hands meetings, picnics, etc. Benefits offered are competitive with the market. The company's business is very important and vital to the security of the US.
Cons
The leadership team is in way over their heads. The CEO micro-manages everything... no one in the company is delegated to sign for anything, not even Sr. VPs. The CEO is a smart guy but has his hands in everything. This may be the result of an inexperienced leadership team that has a lot of confidence in themselves, but doesn't really listen to those below them. They've come up with a grand vision for where to be in a few years, but I don't see how the company will get it done. The work environment is very toxic at times, and there are people that are allowed to stick around even though they need to go.
