Pros

Consistent employment. If one chooses to, one may remain at GDAIS until their dying day. Unless one violates a major core policy, it is practically impossible to loose one's job. This has both advantages and disadvantages.

Cons

Managers worked their way up from lower engineering levels. They have no education or experience in management. They manage what they can, not what they should. Nepotism is rampant throughout GDAIS. Effort is rarely rewarded or recognized. Management style is both patronizing and punitive.

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).
