Pros

Top level of company is committed to continuous improvement. Focus on ethical behavior and business decisions trumps short term thinking. Opportunities for those who perform and willing to work hard. Lots of ways employees can be heard all the way to the top. Contributions to global security are more than most know. Significant portion is restricted and not discussed in the public. The work is amazing stuff.

Cons

Pockets of old school cultures remain a large sites. Some terminal rank middle Managment needs to just leave. Opportunities are limited at smaller sites.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
