Pros

Good salary and good people. World reputation is strong. Multiple jobs in the company if you wish to move. Training is adequate. A lot of my comments might be biased because I worked on-site at a client. Good salary and good people. World reputation is strong. Multiple jobs in the company if you wish to move.

Cons

Politics are quite high when you move up. A lot of pleasant speak to your face, then different actions later on. Politics are quite high when you move up. A lot of pleasant speak to your face, then different actions later on.

Pros

The company is huge, and most portions of it, at least for engineers, tend to hold on to you for a while. It's not like the govt. contracting sector is going away. Also, they tend to be good about paying for external education, even if getting it internally is hard (due to budget constraints, not lack of availability).

Cons

They HATE spending overhead, so good luck finding a Christmas party or anything. The regular benefits are good, but it's not fun to work here anymore.

Pros

Pros -- Decent work/life balance (they don't work you to death). Very good Benefits. They are very flexible in terms of dress and schedule.

Cons

Cons -- the pay seems to be on the low side of average. Incremental/yearly raises are small. They seem to favor the very young people for management positions. If you have about 10-15 years of experience you BETTER be sure you hire in as a Level 4 (Staff), because if you don't you'll never advance. I've been asking for a leadership role for over two years running, with no response from management.
