Pros
Quality Of Life is pretty good. I can take my 40 and go home, and I also can assist with other efforts or push into an extended workweek if need be for a particular project.
Cons
Lack of clear career path communication. I have been treated well in the past, but I also have had painfully few honest discussions wherein I was deciding my own destiny, so to speak. Lots of being "voluntold" in terms of moving through projects, lateral moves, etc. Though not IN the contracting side, we have to follow the contracting rules, so out-of-cycle advancement and promotions are rare and title lag is a real problem. Pay is competent for those with accreditation, but as a gov't. contractor salaries are compressed.
