Your code is used for critical software, from missiles to pace-makers to nuclear reactors
Amazing recruiting process
Cons
It's all proprietary software used mostly by the military and large companies. The technology you is a bit insular - this is not twitter.
My first boss was absolutely incredible -- I enjoyed getting up and working for/with him. But then he left and was replaced with someone who was not quite as stellar. It makes a big difference motivation-wise.
I got the feeling that the company was on a downhill slide as I was leaving. I'm sure it will remain stable and profitable but it seems like less of an exciting place to be than when I first joined.
Santa Barbara is a wonderful city to live and work in, and GHS lets you set your own hours (within reason) such that you can take advantage of the awesomeness of the city. Go to the beach to play volleyball or tan in the daytime, and come back and code all evening.
Cons
The developers consist mostly of antisocial and awkward individuals, more so than at other companies. They tend to be very nice and well-meaning people, but some people might not want to spend time with co-workers out of the office, though the city is small enough that its difficult not to.
