Pros

They had an excellent continuing education program ( with a horrible administrator) and paid for my MBA in full taking night classes. As long as you show up to work there is a general level of job security (aside from layoffs). No one is let go based on performance, only for attendance.

Cons

They are a government contractor and are hindered by the Navy's demands for redundancy. The company is too big to implement real improvements for efficiency or quality. In two years I had 4 different supervisors and was assigned to 3 different departments- one newly created to house everyone from the various trades with the same job title. I was performing the same job and was moved twice, up to two miles away from my area of responsibility. management is just horrible.

Pros

It is a large company with many opportunities. If you get bored, you have many opportunities to seek something else internally. Still has 401K matching an pensions. Salaries are decent.

Cons

The hiring process needs some work. Candidates that can obviously do the job are often eliminated from consideration because they missed a few bullet points. Those at the top are rewarded heavily while lower level employees are forced to deal with most cutbacks and get smaller shares of the company's success.
