Pros

It offers a chance to work on technologically complex projects that are crucial to the country's defense system. There are many positions and locations on diverse projects across the U.S. They offer relatively good health and retirement benefits, and a stable environment.

Cons

Competitive Entry-Level Salary, but modest merit increases after that. You will find that similar skilled employees at typical privately owned companies are making more and advancing at quicker pace. Much of the workforce has been there 20+ years, and consequently can be intimidating to younger employees.

Pros

It's hard to get fired unless you violate security procedures or there is a reduction in workforce.

Cons

Much bureacracy and red tape, innovation is stifled. Major salary compression, lousy annual raises. Too many processes, things that make total business sense aren't done and fighting for change is rarely successful. Many bad middle managers. Pervasive culture of not valuing their employees, this manifests itself in many ways.
