Pros

Nice people, very good connections with DARPA programs, flexible work-life balance

Cons

Deep learning based AI/ML is viewed as an option on many/most programs, but not given the priority it deserves in terms of roadmapping, internal resources, proposal development, internal R&D, and company posture. Also, proposal writing/winning seems to be elevated in importance much more than strong contributions to projects.
