Pros

Focused Employment, Decent leadership, benefits, ability to learn technologies that aren't necessarily in your field, Work/life balance is fair if you are in a standard engineers position, management is a different story, couldn't pay me enough.

Cons

Salary, slightly stagnent, but I think the region and high influx of retired/ousted military keeps it that way. minimal upward mobility, HR is a nightmare, before getting hired I went through 2 different personnel because they either quit or stopped showing up for work. Management tends to not be the greatest for the job, security keep them behind in technology, in fact that is probably my #1 reason for leaving. New career have learned more in one year than I would in 3 at the yard. IT is tough on its employees, know of atleast one suicide on the steps while employed with them.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
