Pros
Easy to progress from within the company if you choose to do so. Wages are very competitive.
Cons
Upper management makes decisions based on the all mighty dollar. You are just a number and easily replaceable. Company slogan is "Our brand means quality", when reality is not that in the slightest.

Pros
- 4 day 10 hour week shifts - Flex time availability - Occasional snacks - Friendly co-workers - Lots of room and time to grow in topics you are interested in - Tuition and Cert Reimbursement - Good PTO benefits
Cons
- Hawkish Middle and Upper Management and Heavy Corporate Atmosphere: Particularly be weary of the "Old Guard" these are your 60+ year old SWE Managers at this company. Many are out of touch with the new generation, and will put you under the table if you get in their way. There are some managers that only care about their pension and about those that do favors for them. - Questionable Ethics (please see above) despite the annual survey results that say otherwise. - Lethargic on-boarding process due to goverment restrictions: This is universal throughout the corporation and the defense industry, and gets in the way of the AGILE process. However, team-members try to mitigate it by supporting each other. - Contract switching: If you are new developer, or even experienced you are at some risk to become "loaned-out" to another team that may work in another completely different programming language or stack that you were hired for. They will try not to mention this during the interview, but it all depends on how big of a budget the manager has at the moment they hired you.
