Pros

Pension benefits & education assistance

Cons

Too many companies/group within the company and they compete each other for business as well. It's a CMMI 5 company, so more of a waterfall development approach. They use martix system for functional management and you may report to someone whom you never met or going to meet.

Pros

Work/Life balance is great - I rarely need to work more the 40 - 45 hours per week.

Cons

Yearly reviews are directly related to how much money your project has brought in and will bring in. If you do an awesome job on a project that is cancelled due to no fault of your own you will only get a basic contributor rating, which can be kind of frustrating. Also, your employment is directly tied to a customer contract. If there is no customer contract/project to pay for your continued employment then you will in a very short time find yourself unemployed.

Pros

Lovely location outside of Philadelphia. Safe clean work environment. Volleyball and tennis leagues. Some exciting simulation and modeling work. Tech refresh for some employees. Union for engineers as protection against management.

Cons

First level management is competent, useful, and helpful. Second level management tends towards incompetence. Don't know much about higher levels but assume they are just paper pushers.
