      Pros

      The job security is good, the people I work with are great, the work is oftentimes very exciting. I enjoy it very much.

      Cons

      It seems hard to move up in this company. It seems as though they are more of a radar, hardware shop instead of a serious software company.

      Pros

      It's nice to be a part of something with meaning; helping defend our freedom. Good people and lots of interesting things to learn

      Cons

      Many members of management got the job because they were there long enough, not because they deserved it. There's also a lot of small thinking for a big company.

      Pros

      THE EMPLOYEES are great people, 401K and Pension, work/life balance, 9/80 work weeks, growing company, products, access to training

      Cons

      Bad Management: Good old boys club! All ex-military and very demanding and controlling. Doesn't value you and the work you do; no respect; no process improvements; sexism, sexual harassment; work overload/burnout; favoritism; no advancement/passing qualified candidates up; notorious bad reviews, with no warning, several codes of conduct broken, etc. Bad HR: Doesn't back the employees expressing major concerns; allows for bad management to belittle women in the workplace; transfers managers with major red flags (i.e sexual harassment investigations, time card changes, ) and doesn't fire them; won't file complaints, allows for hostile work environments
