Business Outlook
Pros
Stable, family-oriented, 9/80 work week (if you can negotiate this). The programs last for years instead of months like at a commercial company, so people get lost in the long product cycle.
Cons
Lack of creativity, lowered ambition due to long government product cycles. Many smaller sites around the country answer to their divisions massive headquarters. The management at the "top" cannot adequately lead because of the geographic and often cultural differences between sites.
