It's been a good place for me to develop

Pros

Large network of mentors and coaches available to those who seek help. Many opportunities to those who seek to try new things, work at different locations, and expand the experience and technical base.

Cons

Working as a government contractor means things often move slowly and there is plenty of bureaucracy.

An odd company

Pros

+ Incredibly interesting technical work. + Very technically talented coworkers. + Access to absolutely top end, world class equipment and facilities. + With the right attitude, you can learn an impressively diverse skill set here. + If you want to drink the Kool-Aid, it's not very hard to jump into some worthless leadership/rotational/development program and ride someone's coattails into a low value/high pay corporate gig.

Cons

- Clings to 1960's style "Company as family" propaganda, when the relationship is clearly one sided. LM will show you no loyalty, but seems to expect it. - Clock-punch mentality. To some, value of work = how early they arrived at the office - Beyond inept at talent retention. - Awful at giving promotions; clings to service time model (see 1960's critique above) - Kafkaesque bureaucratic environment. - While talented, many of your coworkers are bitter. - Layers upon layers of upper management and executives.
