Vantaggi

pros: no matter how incompetent, lazy, and worthless you are, you can't get fired unless you cheat on your timecard or sexually harass someone

Svantaggi

cons: see pros (so you're stuck dragging a ton of lazy deadweight no matter your title, 70% of the folks in every job role are totally useless, with the other 30% working themselves to death because they actually care and are useful) as well as: some organizations aren't even eligible for the annual bonus, while others within the same program see 4k-10k/yr in bonus. Be careful - even if you ask before being hired if you'd be eligible for bonus, they will tell you you are. It's straight up a lie. At least in Palmdale, CA, on the F35 and on other programs, there is an established culture of lieing to make yourself or your group look better, "making the metrics tell a story" aka fudging the numbers or messing with the statistics so they show something favorable, if not accurate, and generally climbing over coworkers or other teams to try to make yourself look better, even if that means destroying others in the process. It's ... a good time.

Vantaggi

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Svantaggi

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
