Pros

Money's good if you can get a security clearance. Austin is a nice place to live. Still a few seasoned pros around you can learn from.

Cons

Constantly changing direction at the whim of Army program management. No job security at all (60 % of Austin employees have been laid off in the last couple of years). They want to be a software service company for the government rather than product developers.
