Pros

If you enjoy sitting at your desk killing time for months at a time, then this is the place for you. On several occasions, I asked co-workers "has anyone told you what we're suppose to be doing ?". The response was "No." Then, when something finally came down the line ... Read "Cons"

Cons

Very politically charged situation that has nothing to do with ability or accomplishments. If you brown nose then, even though you can't figure out why your C++ code won't compile on a Ada compiler, you can become a technical lead two years out of college. And if you do try to actually excel, you had better do it in less than 50 lines of code or your thick fix will set off an alarm and you'll be sent packing because you might jepordize the "truck load of money backing up to there door." And since Arizona is a "right to work" state, they can liable you and there is nothing that you can do about it. Where is 60 minutes when you need them.

No respect for employees

Pros

the best reason to work there is because the economy is awful and choices are few, so if you get an offer, you may as well take it and hope for the best.

Cons

Management treats contractors like lowly slaves who deserve no respect and can be dismissed at the drop of a hat without any explanation. There is a culture of disrespect and a clear division between the contractors and direct employees, its a modern day caste system. Most people are miserable but too scared to speak up for fear of retaliation.

Pros

A good place for older workers. Not too great for younger workers. The work done here requires many years of experience. There is an above 20 year club here which seems to run the place.

Cons

There seems to be a large problem with management wanting to be generic and be a layer above the workers. Workers are an expense, not a value. This separation seems to cause management to be unrealistic or incapable of producing a strong product.
