Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

It is what you make of it, but you won't be valued much in IFS
Pros: - Great opportunity to get some serious marketing and sales/writing and editing experience on your resume
- Prestige of name on your resume
- They'll take a chance on you at entry-level because they can afford to
- Cool perks
- Decent benefits
- Decent vacation
- Flexible work options for some employees
- Practices within the company and groups/teams within the company are so different in terms of how they work that your experience could be dramatically different if you make lateral moves into other groups (a plus because it's easier to make those switches once you're hired, and some are better than others)
Cons: - Culture will run you into the ground
- Expectation is that you're available pretty much 24/7
- Although they talk a big game about work/life balance, the hours are ingrained in the culture and there is no way to differentiate employees who work 80 hrs a week vs. 40
- If you're in IFS, opportunities are limited and you are a second class citizen
- Pay for proposal managers/ technical or proposal writers/editors is better other places
