Pros

Opportunity to advance career and upgrade your skill set while making very good money.

Cons

It's in a war zone and management is most concerned with making sure they make money on the contract.

Pros

Good teamwork within a contract. Still feels like a growing company. Benefits are pretty good. Work environment is comfortable. Better than being unemployed.

Cons

Working for the gov't involves lots(!) of red tape and more documentation than I thought possible. Don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of documentation but what they require is just over the top. For such a large company they are extremely cheap about spending money on IT. Funding for basic IT needs gets charged to contracts rather than overhead which leads to a tenuous situation when the contract ends regarding the disposition of hardware/software. Pay is a little on the low side. The level of IT knowledge seems to be on the lower side. I don't consider myself a guru on anything but I had to explain simple things like VLANs to my office several times (and I'm still not sure they 'get it').
