      Solid if you are an Engineer

      Pros

      Good benefits, decent compensation, good work environment and the company really does care about its employees

      Cons

      Can be very political and you have to play that game if you want to further your career there. Promotions are not merit based, and if you are not an engineer they like to pigeon-hole you into a spot and grind your hard with little to no opportunity to move up in the company. Almost all senior positions are hires from the outside, with some of them having "ties" to senior management already in place. I have seen very little promotion from within the company.

      Pros

      They hire only smart people...so you will learn a lot of quality information Work-Life Balance People genuinely care about others

      Cons

      Roots are in government contracting, which makes change difficult at times Their mantra is "Do the right thing"...which gives individuals autonomy, but also serves as is a cop-out for exec mgmt to lead by example.
