Pros

Tuition reimbursement Job security 401k match Very unique problems and opportunities to touch different sectors(space, aero) Expected to only really ever work 40 hours. Requesting overtime is a separate process. Paid OT(with a gate of unpaid hours first)

Cons

A lot of the work is classified or in person Not always modern technologies Annual raises are way too low(3% average) They lowered the maximum/average raise and replaced it with an annual bonus of ~3%. You may earn more each year but over time you'll be earning significantly less. Management matrix means the one in charge of your pay doesn't work with you every day and doesn't know what you're working on while the one you work with every day has minimal impact. Rewards for exceptional behavior or projects are minimal. Recognition non-existent. Lots of politics at the management level and above. Constant anxiety around charging your time accurately, to the point of veiled threats from the company
