Pros

Contributing to the safety of our country and its service men and women. Great place to start career growth and lots of opportunities to explore. Interaction with service men and women who show immense appreciation for work being done. The work itself is extremely rewarding! Really good work-life balance benefits.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy and cooperate politics. 'Good ole boy club' mentality still very present. Meaning, unless you know someone in the higher ranks, the glass ceiling can approach quickly. Promotions are not really based on merits of hard work, leadership, or good character. It's more about who you know.

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).
