Pluspunten

Good to great benefits package. A 9/80 schedule (every other friday off), sometimes hybrid. Some really brilliant people. If you're in the right program, you can branch out and try a bunch of different stuff.

Minpunten

The company is on the decline. They're having layoffs all across the company. They revoked many internships and post-graduation offers. They're reneging on teleworker agreements and particularly targeting them for layoffs. They lost some programs due to congressional budget cuts, which isn't particularly their fault but many of those programs had deadlines extended many times because NG could not meet them. The leadership is a mixed bag. The section/department managers tend to be great and work to support their reports. The managers at the director/VP level don't seem to know which path of tone deaf destruction they're embarking on that day. They seem to just use buzzwords at all-hands meetings to act like departments merging and reorgs are good things.

Pluspunten

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Minpunten

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
