good technical engineering problems, lots of great people and pioneers to learn from, low barrier to entry from my experience but tons of headroom to grow at your own pace (be it fast or slow), great location, good pay
Cons
many people on verge of retiring and not much effort to backfill or mentor or hire new talent, penny-wise and dollar-foolish, sometimes feels like 1:1 engineer-manager ratio, wish they would invest more in technological research

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).
