Pros

Starting off, pay is good. Interesting material and projects, get to work with very smart people Benefits as far as Medical, and Retirement are nice, keeping in line with industry norms. Even Stock purchase program is a nice bonus

Cons

VERY hard to advance your career. Not many remote positions, and any that are available are already taken by employees that the requirements are tailored to. If you're looking to advance up a ladder, good luck. If you have a family, you should probably look elsewhere. The pay starting out is great, but keep in mind, the contract you're working on has a set amount for yearly increases. You won't get paid more if you do better work than anyone else, it'll be dependent on the contract. Bonuses are communicated when signing on, but they're non-existent. They're for the Program directors and above. Also the PTO is terrible. Starting out you have 2 weeks of PTO. Good luck if you have a family and want to take time off for vacations or even catching a baseball game or golf on a nice day. Keep in mind, you're working mostly with the government, so when they say jump, and you ask how high, they'll answer you 3 months later, but wanted your jump done 4 months earlier.

Pros

MULTIPLE programs to support and take care of employees. They are NOT all about the bottom line/dollar, but about taking care of their people FIRST in order to make sure the job gets done! For example, they offer a PTO Donation Bank for Disabled Vets, extra time off that you can use when your injuries act up!

Cons

Nothing beyond the usual amount of paperwork in order to fulfill obligations and tracking of products/jobs.
