Pros

The work is fun and fairly interesting. The managers at the office I am at are friendly and care about the employees. The product that I am working on is interesting and definitely enjoyable.

Cons

The pay could be better and there is little documentation of the code base. They also take a lot of ideas from smaller companies such as "flex time" and manage to turn them into very corporate policies that don't work all that well. The amount of paperwork required can hinder an employees productivity, but also is a necessary evil in the defense industry.

Pros

9x80 schedule was somewhat nice. We got some benefits through the company, but still weren't great.

Cons

Self starters are not always welcomed. Improve upon the benefits for employees. Perhaps take better care of the regular conveniences like snacks and coffee. They are fairly inexpensive and honestly make a big difference.

Pros

It's extremely hard to get fired. There are plenty of departments to transfer to if you want to learn a lot about defense.

Cons

I worked in 2 departments and received very little to no training in each. The simulation and analysis work I was doing in MATLAB wasn't hard, but understanding the results of the simulations required a lot of expertise. There is no documentation, you can't Google it, it's not intuitive at all. Therefore you NEED someone who has the experience to train you. My department was struggling to maintain employees because we didn't have that experience. I ended up leaving because everything became a guessing game.
