Large, Slow Company

Pros

Generally low pressure work environment. 4/80 schedule means lots of 3 day weekends. Geopolitical instability means many potential business opportunities for a global defense contractor.

Cons

Constricting policies for performance evaluation. Limited opportunities for advancement because the company is top heavy. Limited room for innovation. Obsession with outdated and irrelevant metrics like SLOC (source lines of code) results in poorly maintained codebases that are difficult to work with.
