Pros

Flexible schedules and somewhat average pay

Cons

Incompetent and inhumane management. Turnover is crazy and there is no support. Total mess because they can't keep people for more than 12 months. Somehow managers make director but nobody on the team gets promoted before they quit. Senior management does not pay attention and they do not care, even though their company values highlight building and retaining teams. This is a horrible program. Do not make the mistake of working on devstar or sentinel.

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.
