Pros

You get to work with cool new technology that benefits our troops and civilians, in both medical and military applications

Cons

Cut almost 50 percent of their workforce with no heads up. Upper management doesn't understand time constraints and winds up promising the customer the world in unreasonable amounts of time. Although you're working with cool technology, your day to day life is boring. All the competent managers have left to manage larger groups at other companies, partially due to the environment. Need more communication between hardware and software teams
