Pros

Exciting projects that the customers love. A lot of knowledgeable engineers. More of the company's resources are directed towards IRAD programs than other big UAV/Defense companies.

Cons

Getting in the right group and project is crucial. Some people get pigeon-holed into a specialty. Sometimes this can be beneficial, but it can also limit your career growth.
