Pros

Good work life balance. 9/80 Schedule. Low stress. Friendly co-workers.

Cons

Boring work. Lots of red tape. Management only cares about gathering stupid metrics that even they agree is stupid. Raytheon Six Sigma... ugh. Huge waste of time that we make the government pay for.

Pros

Great people that I worked with at the Aurora campus. Opportunities to try different roles. Great benefits and they definitely find you other positions as contracts end.

Cons

Salary isn't the best like most defense contractors. Not a lot of leading edge technology used in software development.

Pros

Work life balance, flex time, interesting work, intelligent co workers, technical challenges, suite at baseball stadium, free parking, good location

Cons

merit raises are nothing more than cost of living increases, facilities are poorly maintained, several engineering fellows are inept, lack of recognition, very political, lots of red tape, clueless and impersonal management, expect work without charge numbers
