Pros

Excellent co-workers and supervisors. Enjoyed the projects I was working on during the first two years. Opportunity to work on military projects. Exposure to cutting edge technologies. Opportunities to get a wide array of experience in a short periods.

Cons

Can be moved around from project to project very quickly. At one point I worked on 5 projects in 6 months each using different technologies. Can become jack of all trades master of none. Frequently expected to work weekends with no bonuses for extra work.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
