Pros

The job security is stable and secure. The work is very interesting. It's great to know that my work is making a difference in the war. The company pays market salaries, and a pension that is money set aside for you, not future debt obligations. The company is growing, allowing a decent potential for upward mobility. There is 401k matching and a killer health insurance plan. I can't complain about these benefits.

Cons

No stock since it is a private company. A bit crowded as the company grows. IT policies are a bit too strict. The environment is stiff compared to many other commercial companies.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
