Pros

Competitive pay and benefits.

Interesting work.

Feeling like you're contributing to something meaningful.

Great work-life balance, since all time must be logged, and so it's clear how much everyone is actually working.

Executives seem like they have a good vision for the company, and are invested in helping the company stay on top.

Cons

Annoying bureaucratic policies.

Because it's defense contract work, you usually can't contribute to open source code or work on your personal computer.

Lots of work involves supporting legacy systems.

Advice to Management

Lower management holds the key to making employees happy. The best managers are the ones who trust their employees and fight for their team to help remove obstacles.
