Pros

- new CEO is straight forward and communicates well - co-workers are generally pretty good

Pros

Safe, great work-life balance, but quasi-government work and rather hierarchical.

Cons

Hierarchical, somewhat lumbering organization, but lots of opportunities if you want a calm life doing good defense work.
