Pros

* 40 hour work weeks * Cool and unique projects that you can't talk to anyone about * You get to work on missiles * Some nice people to get to know and work with

Cons

* Red tape government type of work ... extremely slow * Friends that graduated with you will be way ahead in technical proficiency by year five in commercial industries. This place is incredibly slow * Promotion given on years served versus merit. * Inefficiency is how it's done here. Red tape everywhere. Management loves process to no end. * Managers are you ... five-ten years ago. No experience or know how-to's in managing. * No learning/training opportunities besides what you learn ... if anything ... on the job.

Pros

Good life-work balance. Most people are nice to work with. Descent pay for the area

Cons

Have you ever heard of brain drain ... this phenomenon hit defense pretty hard. Nobody wants to work in an industry that is run on 80's business model. Too much bureaucracy, too much red tape, work on your own culture with minimum development from your managers. Promotion is based on how many years you spent with the company versus skill. You feel like a # going to work every day among a sea of other engineers. The management is clueless as to why people are leaving for Silicon Valley and other startup. If you are in this industry for more than 3-4 years, good luck leaving ... your peers who work in commercial/medical world will be running circles around you by then.
