      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get work with some pretty smart people. They pay for grad school.

      Cons

      Being good at something is dangerous because you get pigeonholed fast. Poor ratio of effort invested to value gained.

      Dinosaur undergoing a mid-life crisis; not all bad but very team dependent

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      **This is team dependent** * Contract/hourly based pay + needing to be onsite actually helped to maintain a healthy work-life balance; never worked more than 50 hours per week, since we were not allowed to take overtime due to budget cuts * You get to see jets take off every day * People were generally friendly here * Lots of retirements potlucks * Somewhat solid engineers * Really great place if you want to just coast

      Cons

      * Lack of good tooling and up-to-date software; * Lack of new (software) technology stack being used * Lots of bureaucratic issues (using "AgileFall"; basically they tried to adapt an agile methodology inside a contract-based system, resulting in the classic "overpromise and underdeliver" (or in this case plan to deliver years late) * Security Clearance comes with a lot of work and caveats (ex: must record travel, must name any foreign contacts, all known associates, etc) * Huge age gap in demographics; either very new (1-3 yrs) or very old (20+ year veteran); company is currently undergoing a cultural shift * Huge legacy codebase, with many of the original authors retired (see above point) or left the company
