Pros

Excellent place to work and grow professionally if you are one of the "special" ones (applied to most of the technical fields).

Cons

Politics, lots of back stabbing, old boys club in desirable offices, if you are not ex-military, hard to get promoted, if you are not in a career development program - your career is dead, certain groups (College alumni, ex-military, by age, etc) take care of their friends - College degrees and certifications does nothing special for your career, pass a certain age - your career is dead, promotions and assignments are given out by who likes you or what you can do to help them get promoted.
