Pros

The ability to learn different technologies and interact with truly brilliant professionals. A large organization with a world-wide presence that allows for individual career opportunities. Generous education benefits for advanced degree-work. Large information stores made available to employees to research solutions, or share information with peers.

Cons

Draconian and tedious compliance requirements. The feeling of being a number, or profit point to be maximized due to the size of the organization and the, at times, attitude of management. This is just an opinion and may be part of the culture of larger organizations, or multi-nationals.

Pros

It offers a chance to work on technologically complex projects that are crucial to the country's defense system. There are many positions and locations on diverse projects across the U.S. They offer relatively good health and retirement benefits, and a stable environment.

Cons

Competitive Entry-Level Salary, but modest merit increases after that. You will find that similar skilled employees at typical privately owned companies are making more and advancing at quicker pace. Much of the workforce has been there 20+ years, and consequently can be intimidating to younger employees.
