Pros

9/80 schedule, no real expectations from management for quality work, as long as the "paperwork/documentation/requirements are solid." Benefits/pension plan are ok.

Cons

Boring, not good experience. Outdated technology across the board. Stereotypical "government urgent" deadlines... Low pay, minimal raises and almost insulting bonuses.

We employ some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers and we pride ourselves on our advanced technology. We are investing more all the time and we hope you’ll contact your management directly if we’re not providing what you need to excel.

High Turnover

Pros

Steady income, semi-flexible schedule, 9/80 work week

Cons

Mind numbing work in austere office environment. Massive turnover. 90% of department gone in two years. The company does not make an effort to keep talented people with decent compensation increases. Does not get rid of toxic individuals.
