Pros

Work-life balance is good--bad projects can disturb this in some cases, but nothing like Silicon Valley. Work is mostly interesting. Camaraderie between coworkers is excellent. Get into the right situation here and you can work until you retire if you choose.

Cons

Weak company processes allow poor and/or abusive managers to operate with zero accountability, even in the face of high group turnover and repeated complaints.

Heartless C-Level Leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- C-Level Leadership effectively serves the board/shareholders. - Culture of ethical business practices due to government customer regulations and a desire to avoid bad press - If working on a contract, then one can align themselves to the customer's mission, resulting in fulfilling work.

Cons

- C-Level Leadership has *optionally* decided to conduct reductions over 2-3 month periods that leaves people/families without jobs. - Culture used to be very employee friendly though the good parts continue to be reduced. - If working on a contract, then don't expect the company to care much beyond you continuing to bring in the revenue.
