Pros

Not very much I'm sorry to say, most of the people seem to be nice. Building was new and clean

Cons

I worked in IT. There was no on-boarding whatsoever, if I had a question, it was "go ask this or that guy". They rushed to get me in there, I would have liked a week off between contracts (I had not had a vaca in 6 months) but they apparently needed me badly. Badly enough that I sat there for 3 days at an empty desk with no laptop on Thanksgiving week when everyone was out. When I actually started working about 2 weeks later, what I thought was a Linux scripting role turned out to be a technical writer. How about just hiring a technical writer???? My number one priority was working on a project not yet funded. Complete waste of time.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
