Pros

The work can be challenging and interesting, and the projects are meaningful: they affect the safety and effectiveness of our military personnel.

Cons

Financial floundering leads to knee-jerk layoffs, sabotaging morale and causing talent flight. Large military programs are frustrating because they can be way too complex, are managed using inefficient waterfall processes.
