Pros

Takes good care of employees. For example, company does not let go people right away if they are out of contract. I've seen other company fire right away when their contract expires and not billiable. Nice benefits package, out of pocket cost depends on your salary. Less salary you make, your benefit cost is less, where higher salary will pay more for benefit cost. Fair system. Incentive bonus and profit sharing. Good 401k match (Match upto 6%, contribute 6%, company will match 5%). Loyal employees, many people staying with the company for more than 10 to 20 years.

Cons

Independent layout, less interaction between people. Mostly government contracting, this means the contract has to renew every year. This applies to all government contracting companies. Base salary is low but compensated by incentive bonuses.

Pros

My colleagues at BBN are virtually all sharp, motivated, highly competent and engaged. That's the best part of working here. My experience has been very positive for a number of years-- I've been given a lot of freedom to explore new ideas (within the scope of the contracts we have...) but a fair amount of feedback and encouragement towards career growth as well (in team leadership and business development). (I see in a number of these reviews that people are declaring that "Raytheon will change everything, and you're a fool if you ignore that", but I guess I will wait and see what actually happens. So far it hasn't been a problem at my level.)

Cons

As others have mentioned, the work is largely driven by government contracts. This does mean that there are ebbs and flows, and sometimes you end up shifting to work on one thing when you'd prefer to work on another. There also appears to be quite a difference between the departments, so what a review says about one department might be totally irrelevant to another.
