Pros

- 100% covered health care. - Managed my own time.

Cons

- Almost cost me my life, was forward deployed for them and was treated very poorly the entire time. - Boss didn't care if I had gotten into a wreck that almost cost me life, told me to get back on the job. - Under paid me the entire time, over-charged government hours while paying me under the amount of hours I worked. - They did some seriously illegal things, but felt immune to it because the things they did to me happened while I was forward deployed to another country.

Pros

Beautiful campus and nice cafe Great location Excellent benefits Lots of nice coworkers

Cons

Good positions are filled with buddies of senior management, leading to incompetence in much of the leadership Probably the most poorly run and inefficient company in the industry Most big undertakings are just science projects and never actually launch- amount of wasted time and effort is enormous Pervasive passive aggressive culture

Not a Serious Company

Pros

Good food at cafe, flexible hours, never in a rush

Cons

Nobody is serious about doing work efficiently or cost-effectively, plans are haphazardly thought through, and HR sweeps things under the rug. All the reviews that don't notice any problems with this company should probably start paying attention to the quality of work this company produces.
