Avantages
Good benefits package including several medical options (HSA, PPO, HMO) to match your family needs; opportunity to support our men & women of the armed forces; managers generally respectful of time-off & flexible with work/life balance; vacation bumps from 2 weeks to 3 weeks after 1st year
Inconvénients
highly bureaucratic like the government; lots of layers of management; senior management sometimes doesn't make tough decisions or doesn't support junior managers or professionals in decisions they have made; few managers believe in empowerment (lots of micro-managers); promotions are rare; pay increases generally closer to "cost of living" increases; high performers don't get much higher raises than average performers; lots of nepotism (kids getting hired because parents work there).
