Every place has pros and cons.

Pros

Willing to train people, pay for continued education. Okay pay, good benefits. It's nice not taking work home at the end of the day. In general I feel like this company treats some people good, and some people poorly. It's almost like just waiting for the other shoe to drop sometimes. If you're okay with just showing up every day and putting in the minimum, you can coast here for the rest of your career.

Cons

Limited career growth opportunities without specific, hard to get experience. A lot of general "bull" associated with government work. Sometimes management will prevent job transfers which can stall career progress, seemingly for only their career progression/benefit.

An Overall Good Place with Problems Typical to Any Large Organization

Pros

An inspiring mission for those who care about national defense. Depending on the group, can have extremely interesting and value-added work tasks. Excellent benefits and work-life balance. At least for me, excellent and supportive coworkers and great bosses. Ample encouragement to seek additional, company sponsored education. For me personally, I have found a niche that suits my desires and am quite happy with the lab.

Cons

As with many organizations like this, many rules to navigate in order to get work done, especially operations-oriented work. Other groups that you may depend on don't necessarily share your goals. For some (speaking for engineers), work can consist more of project management than actual technical work, which can impact professional personal growth. Additionally, not many opportunities to interact with organizations outside of the Defense Industry, or global organizations. Compensation is about average.
