Pros

Wealth of knowledge in the few senior people that are still there, but that is decreasing fast as senior people retire.

Cons

Management for the most part is completely disengaged from the day to day jobs that the employees are trying to do. Complete befuddlement of the requirements and needs of the DoD customer. Mid to senior employees are not taken care of financially even though those employees are doing all the work. Training of employees (other than the new college grads that are going to leave anyway) is something that does not even enter into the equation. What few trainings there are must be done off the clock even if it has a direct relationship to job. Misandry: Discrimination against men. Women of lesser skills and experience are given preferential treatment in all job categories.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
