Pros

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

Cons

- DOGE - You will loose a project or many, and then be scrambling to fill your time. - Middle Management has not lost the CYA mentality from working under the previous CEO

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.
