Pros

Wealth of knowledge in the few senior people that are still there, but that is decreasing fast as senior people retire.

Cons

Management for the most part is completely disengaged from the day to day jobs that the employees are trying to do. Complete befuddlement of the requirements and needs of the DoD customer. Mid to senior employees are not taken care of financially even though those employees are doing all the work. Training of employees (other than the new college grads that are going to leave anyway) is something that does not even enter into the equation. What few trainings there are must be done off the clock even if it has a direct relationship to job. Misandry: Discrimination against men. Women of lesser skills and experience are given preferential treatment in all job categories.

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.
