Pros

If you work on a contract, your job is probably safe and you'll be mostly insulated from what's going on within the company.

Cons

Leadership at the top is very toxic. President frequently blasted employees, in front of others, and often for things that were not their fault or in their control. He seemed to be doing his best to alienate both customers and partners as well as employees. Morale was at an all time low when I left and the little bit I've heard since suggests that things have only gotten worse, though obviously I don't know that for sure. Leadership at the top seemed to keep expanding while much of the infrastructure was laid off and while everyone was told how well the company was doing. Management at lower levels were often still good people, they seemed to be doing their best to protect their folks, but they had started leaving as well.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, great people and coworkers. Working at a small business gives you access to all levels of the organization that you don't get with large businesses. You can just walk into HR or IT and get something done really quickly. The company has been around for over 48 years and has very mature systems. There were many company events which brought the employees together like ice cream socials, karaoke, Pi Day, annual holiday parties and summer picnics.

Cons

There aren't many but maybe the corporate offices could use some updating.

Pros

+ Access to NASA projects + Remote work contracts + Flexible hours + Scrappy C-suite

Cons

+ These folks seem to see staff as cattle with a cost+ bounty over their heads + They put their group managers in uncomfortable interpersonal positions + Company events feel like desperate attempts by the C-suite to check a box and appear like they care.
