Pros

If you like a low workload, this is the place for you. The people seem very nice. This is a great place to get started working and learn basic coding skills. Popcorn on wednesdays.

Cons

There is no interesting work, especially if you are new to the division. All work here is maintenance work, no new development. I have not done any design work or coding really at all in the 6 months I have been here. Thus far I have fixed bugs and written documentation. When I've tried to change this situation, I have been told by my management that I have to stay doing nothing (sorry "writing" documentation) because now they have money and need to spend the money. I am not a special case here, this happens to most ALL new employees coming in. Software engineering is 15-20 years behind the commercial industry. I'm talking basic techniques and tools here.

Don't expect to be promoted fast, common to be E3 for 20 years

Pros

Compartmentalized security clearance makes you more marketable in defense industry. If you are software engineer, programmer, computer science major, mathematician, physicist, you'll be well sought after at this site.

Cons

No growth path for technical oriented people. Slow promotion. A big problem is that you see fairly common people with 15-20 years of experience doing good work continue to be E3 where in other defense companies they would be E4 already. Serious communication problem at the senior management level. Senior management lacks trust in their senior technical folks. Decisions are managed via a strict chain of command hierarchy. Among management level, it seems status is everything (ie. who has the biggest office).
