Pros
Great work subject matter, coworkers, and project. Can work on wide variety of project across the company for different government sponsors and for internally funded R&D.
Cons
They cut 5 days of paid time off for employees there 9+ years. Previous PTO policy was competitive with similar companies (Raytheon, Capital One, government agencies, civilian military, other FFRDCs or national labs, Google, Microsoft, Facebook). At the same time, max accrual was cut by 80 hours and we only had 30 days to get below the limit or we would stop accruing. Because of this, I lost several additional days that did not accrue. They also cut 4 days of civic time. CEO and senior leadership seem deaf to the impact this has on employee morale and how this effects staff's personal lives.
