Pros

Medical/Dental benefits completely covered. MPPP instead of a standard 401K which the company directly contributes to. Huge network of Tecolotians to collaborate with.

Cons

As a contractor to the DoD, your work/life balance is totally dependent on who you work for at the DoD.Base pay could be better-- much better. Total compensation is great, but base pay is not competitive with cost of living in Los Angeles.
