Pros

Allowed to work remote. Interesting DoD work spread all over US/Africa. HQ is based in the heart of San Diego.

Cons

Bizarre company structure (the amount of vice presidents in the company seems straight out of American Psycho), constant title changes. Small Defense business that took a massive hit due to budget cuts.
