Pros

- Great benefits - State of the art projects - Personal office - Innovations and "think outside the box" are encouraged - Quiet place - some like it this way. - Great work from home policy. - Simple and short organization chart - as pros, there is almost no bureaucracy, and you know where to go when you need something. - Good work/life balance - Great cafeteria.

Cons

- Very enclosed and egocentric culture/people. Hard to blend in and be accepted during the first 3 years. It got better after that. But if you like to socialize with your workmates, BBN is not for you. - Being reassigned to different projects sometimes requires major reprofiling from your part, without being asked. It becomes a challenge when you have to do this 3-4 times per year. - Weak training program. Most of the times you are on your own. - Simple and short organization chart - as cons, little opportunities for career advancement. Most of the 20-30 years veterans are still engineers or senior engineers. If you want a job where you want to be promoted like every 3-5 years, BBN is not for you. - Billlability is everything. - General fear in the air regarding the aftermaths of being acquired by Raytheon.
