An okay place to start

Pros

Took a chance on me and allowed me to get my foot in the door.

Cons

A cold compassionless bureaucratic company with no heart and soul. I was hired at too high a level because I had a master's degree but punished for it the whole time I was there even though it was not my fault. The worst part about this company is that it doesn't make any kind of investments into its employees. It pushes all the responsibility of growth and development onto the employee and if the employee doesn't seem to grow or develop to their satisfaction is pushed around or pushed out. I really hated being attacked by the constant performance reviews to justify my existence there. Maybe they would be a better company if they got over themselves. I was so happy when I found the other company and could get away from this nightmare. I will never work for this company again even if they offered millions to me unless I saw they changed.

Pros

Steady reliable job with opportunity for moving up the corporate ladder

Cons

This is a large company and so it can really feel impersonal at work. So far not very challenging.

Pros

Generally stable, seen many people work 30 plus years here. Being govt contractor, lots of rules in place to protect employee, like limits to uncompensated OT for individual contributors. This can be a pro or con I suppose. Lots of good resources throughout company to help you network and grow, but you have to take initiative to seek and follow.

Cons

If working for SSC, software technologies used may seem out dated. Change process is slow and the culture seems to reflect. Its good for those seeking more stable, not so fast paced job. Can be boring for those energetic and passionate types trying to stay at cutting edge. This was for Space only, other parts of company are bit more in tune with latest software trends
