Pros

-Relatively stable job -A lot of really nice people

Cons

Management is poor. Most managers are engineers with no real training other than what they see on their daily interactions with the Navy. Thus yelling and public humiliation are key tools they use. I've been recognized as one of the best engineers they've ever had. I think their system is a broken as it gets. Work life balance is pretty bad too

Pros

Great position negotiating contracts with large defense contractors for major weapons systems. Lots of independent work, but also coworkers are great about offering assistance when asked, such as what they have done when confronted with a similar situation. Lots of young people. They hire several contracting interns every year.

Cons

Negotiating contracts isn't for everyone. You must be very comfortable with math and have some accounting skills. Commuting into DC can also be a hassle. Initial salary for recent college graduates isn't as competitive as private industry, but you're essentially guaranteed annual pay raises to GS-13 level.
