Pros: Fast-paced,
friendly, and open culture.
Cons: If you're not interested in government, intelligence, or defense, then you may be turned off by about half of the business. That said, there's the other half of the business that's not that. I happen to be interested in all of it, so it's great!
Not enough female engineers; some teams are all male.
