Pros

Wide variety of different projects and programs to work on. Can learn Front end frameworks one month and be working on an embedded system the next. Lots of opportunities to learn. Competitive pay. Good work-life balance if you're not in a leadership position.

Cons

Can be stuck on programs you're disinterested in. Being on a `red` program can be a stressful and totally out of your control.

Pros

The Pittsburgh office (a.k.a GDViz) has a great culture, friendly people, and comfortable work spaces. I've never had any issues with other employees either on or off projects as there is a focus on hiring for both engineering abilities and excellent cultural fit. The work makes an impact in the real world. Most contracts are with government agencies and the software is used in mission critical situations. Work hours are flexible. Projects are fairly free to customize their own agile process, and management is not heavy handed. The organization is relatively flat, with title differences corresponding to role rather than hierarchy.

Cons

As with all contract work, most of the deadlines are firm. Without careful planning some projects end up in a finish line sprint, requiring some extra time from employees.
