Pros

* Flexible hours * Paid overtime

Cons

* Toxic, political culture that prioritizes protecting the status quo over productivity and quality * Engineers are micromanaged and have very little independence, responsibility or creative freedom. The only expectation of engineers is that they write code based on a given specification; they have minimal involvement with conceptual and design decisions. * Development is slowed by an immense amount of technical debt; no emphasis on following industry norms or best practices; * Promotions are scarce and a matter of time rather than merit * Upper management seem apathetic towards employee comfort and morale; engineers are not given adequate equipment * Overtime is expected * Real, lasting change seems impossible due to the overwhelming levels of middle-management * Working in a classified environment means lots of restrictions
