Pros

Large network of talent and resources, some areas have innovative options and flexibility for employees

Cons

Cronyism, cargo cult mentality regarding buzzword business practices, absent leadership as many upper management slots are filled with short termers waiting to retire. Service delivery is decidedly below enterprise class, typically a kludgy solution dropped in place to meet an aggressive deadline with no requirements that quickly becomes a convoluted, unsupportable mess. Unwillingness to take feedback from 'lower grade', overwillingness to throw bodies at a problem with no plan of action. 50 hours a week is not enough, and the expectation is you are available at short notice 24/7. Inscrutable valuation of talent - you may be top in your field but if you don't have a 4 year degree you're held back regardless of contribution.

Pros

Great training, benefits, retirement and learn how to use a lot of different computer systems. Also, cool environment to work in if you like defense/aeronautics.

Cons

Have to wait a long time (three years atleast) to get promoted, pretty much just follow directions and run reports, not much autonomy.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Low pressure work environment. Good long term contract in hand.

Cons

Little respect for individualism. A strong pressure to conform to corporate culture. Too much inertia of rest as it relates to solving even some of the smaller problems.
