Pros

The company used to stand up for its people.

Cons

The culture and teamwork used to be our big draw. Emphasis on people and working in the public good. Recent hires have irreversibly changed this feeling and culture. The company is now simply a government contractor like all others. Out to maximize profit at all costs. New execs likely the big issue.

Pros

Impactful FFRDC work in the public interest

Cons

Awful corporate leadership. The corporation is reducing itself to be just another contractor/body shop. Lots of glass ceilings. Diminishing benefits that are no longer competitive with the private sector.
