      Pros

      Great training with cutting edge knowledge and experience in computer networks, cellular technologies. Good salary, benefits and job security. Be a part of global security, protect America without coming under fire, working from the security of your desk.

      Cons

      Difficult finding assignments outside of the Baltimore DC area. While there are other sites, they are limited. Also as with any federal agency, it can be somewhat bureaucratic.

      Pros

      Great people, opportunities for advancement, travel, education and in some cases recognition.

      Cons

      Budget shortfalls limit pay raises, annual review structure can be somewhat subjective. After Snowden, new rules can me almost production prohibitive and too stringent.
