Pros

People, Compensation/Benefits. The work is challenging and the pay and benefits are like "golden handcuffs". Executives at this company are paid an exorbitant amount of money but everyone is compensated well.

Cons

Limited career growth; promotions heavily influenced by internal politics and "who you know" philosophy. Senior leadership is not approachable/not visible

Pros

Great benefits; One of the best in the industry. Working hours are flexible, but you need make yourself available during core business hours Monday - Friday. Option to work in any of the locations in the DC Metro area is a plus.

Cons

If you are a Contractor, be aware that there are 2 to 3 weeks of furlough that occurs at the end of the year. Ask your contracting company about the furlough, because you could end up not making any money for up to 3 weeks. Negotiate a slightly higher rate to compensate for this. You have been warned.
