Pros

A great place to see what NOT to do

Cons

SERCO is a bottom-level defense contractor who makes the classic mistake of prioritizing profits over people. Contracts are bid at the lowest rate, then front-line technicians and managers are left with no resources to execute the work. When the contracts fail, of course the technicians are to blame (never the top tier management). SERCO is a very short-sighted company that will never break into the "big boy" territory of larger technology defense contractors such as BAH or GDIT.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
