Pros

Great people! I’ve worked at several locations and everyone is always so nice and helpful. Also lots of opportunity to move around and try new things.

Cons

More of an industry problem, but lots of red tape limiting technology stacks. Lots of legacy products are in use and it’s almost impossible to get new tech into classified environments. This limits how much engineers are able to explains their toolset and prevents project optimization.
