Pros

I work with the Global Flight Training division within i3, and so cannot speak to their engineering, security and IT divisions, which comprise a significant portion of the business. However, in general, i3 has excellent leadership all the way to the top, pays very well and their corporate culture is one of integrity, virtue and strikes a very good balance between taking care of the customer AND taking care of its employees (which sometimes can be mutually exclusive.) Everyone I know who works for i3 is very happy to be there.

Cons

Within the Flight Training division, business is totally contract-dependent. When working on a contract, life is good. When not, not so good, thought the company retains you in what they call Temporary On Call status. (That's the nature of government contracting.) Naturally, one has to pay the bills. If an employee takes employment elsewhere when off contract, i3 doesn't burn bridges and will readily contact you and hire you back, if you so desire, when a new contract is put in place. The other divisions are also contract driven, but there seems to be less disruption in those divisions.

Pros

i3 is a wonderful company. They have a great culture, amazing mission, and awesome people. Teams all work well together from my experience, and there is little to no friction or animosity between departments

Cons

My 1 drawback is that regardless of the companies growth or scaling, i3 seems reluctant to put on their "big boy pants". They insist on acting like a tech start up in many regards, maintaining lacks rules and accountability, resisting changes that impose even the slightest inconvenience, and formal policy and process that may impede innovative practices. The result is a company with little to no standardization, many preventable errors in processes, and messy products that reflect poorly on the company as a whole.
