Pros: It's a large company with a wide array of opportunities. If you're dissatisfied with your current job, you can almost always accept a job posting with a different group.

Cons: It's a large company, so it can be difficult to make a "huge impact." People can feel lost in large organizations.

Pros: Not exactly cutting-edge technology, but I work with some really smart people and have learned a lot over the last few years. The pay is on par for the Seattle area, and the work/life balance is respected. While management can sometimes have their head in the clouds regarding the current state of things, I have to say everyone has been fair. Overtime is expected when things are behind, but this isn't different from any other shop.

Cons: Defense spending is down, and there aren't a lot of places to go in the company right now.

Pros: There is a strong sense of job security.

Cons: Conservative culture that blocks innovation.
