Pros

It is a fortune 500 company that has some very intelligent and innovative talent. CEO has tried to position company to weather the down turn in defense contracting business, with some success.

Cons

Very hierarchical in management access. Demands from leadership flow downstream; many data drills that may be of little benefit. Many layers of management, frequent reorganizations. There are a lot of challenges working between businesses and really "Teaming" within the company to work together for the success of programs. Very little security as an employee at the company - contrary to the company philosophy of the employees being their greatest asset.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good but not great. Many projects are state of the art and exciting to work on. Your coworkers and most middle management are a joy to work with.

Cons

Benefits are gradually being reduced and phased out. Upper leadership has no interest in you if you cannot directly help their career. You will be treated as a part in their machine and changed out without warning. Reduction in Government spending has put stress on every part of this company, expect to work in fear of your job all the time.

Pros

Average compensation for an ordinary career...pro for some Lots of time to think about problems...a boon for the acceptance for inefficiency Probably the only place that will pay for your graduate degree these days You can survive without doing much of anything by being able to hold clearances

Cons

Average compensation for an ordinary career...con for most working in the tech field Lots of technical inertia. Long development time Individual contributors are usually forgotten when bonus time comes Forget about traveling. Old, cold war era security policy will eat away at your personal freedom
