Pros

Company values of integrity and innovation are demonstrated daily by co-workers, challenging and rewarding work, outstanding co-workers and competitive salary.

Cons

Management is very focused on schedule and cost (as it should be) but at the expense of knowing their people's skills and value. Advancement opportunity is very limited and requires significant sales effort on employee's part.

Pros

Weekly pay. Interesting work. Encouraged to look for other jobs within the company.

Cons

3 different managers all in different states from my work location. Assessment of work is a joke when your managers don't really see what you are working on. The higher up I moved in the company the less I found myself doing.

Pros

Offers the opportunity to work for large projects of vital importance to the nation. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

This company works with a lot of old legacy practices and technology and, aside from a small percentage of individuals and a few pockets here and there, is not very innovative. A great many people want to avoid change altogether and actively resist it. This company is trying to go agile, but, aside from a few individuals, just doesn't get it. You're generally either under micromanagement or hit and run management. The company doesn't want to promote anyone except in rare cases. Work-life balance is supported in theory, but in practice you'll be given more work than you could ever possibly complete in a 40 hour work week.
