Pros

Benefits Vacation purchase plan On site health center Work from home

Cons

Not the company it used to be. Senior Management in certain departments needs to be overhauled. Some departments let you work from home while others frown upon it. You can be told that you can work from home due to lack of space but when you do you are then reprimanded for not being seen (basically out of sight out of mind). They are famous for getting rid of folks 45 and over so word of advice to those in that age group is to start looking for another job before they decide to let you go. Forced distribution in performance management is a joke. If your manager doesn't like you or fight for you then you will be the one at the bottom. Lots of fake people so be careful who you befriend and who you think you can trust.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
