A great place to work but with a few major flaws
Pros
The culture is cooperative and politics are fairly minimal Extremely professional and helpful support staff Has the professional edge of a much larger company but is small and family focused
Cons
Nepotistic - you'll see full families in their email directory They treat people who are not prior military as second class citizens. I am a veteran but it was a noticeable distinction and those who had not served complained about this rather loudly. I saw it and found it to be a problem as a diverse set of backgrounds is always beneficial to problem solving. Speaking of diversity, it is a serious issue. All the black people are in IT, all the women are in HR. They have one token black male and one female in senior management. The company is run primarily by retired submariners who served when women weren't allowed on board. It shows, and while they're always super polite, they super politely never promote you and treat you like a secretary. Where you come in is where you'll be....forever. Some people love that and don't want to grow in their career - they want to be a subject matter expert and stay in that position for eternity. If you are that person, this is a great place. If not, enjoy your time and move on after a few years.
