Pros

Large contract prime, average benefits, recognized industry name (although it does not seem to carry weight anymore)

Cons

Avoid Roy, UT and Huntsville, AL at all costs. The program is constantly behind schedule which means managers burn and grind people to the bone in order to meet impossible deadlines. Bait and switch job descriptions and interviews. Retail stores and McDonalds have better retention than this program. Most people quit the company or move to another program in 12-14 months. There is no continuity on the teams, morale is terrible, documentation is a mess and the environment is extremely toxic because everyone is quitting, fighting to get out of the program, or advance to a position where they can push work onto other people. Favoritism is awful and you will not get recognized as they burn you out. There is no leadership anywhere on the program. Do not apply for anything Sentinel related.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
