Pros

Smart, capable and talented people work here in grunt work positions. Facilities are stunning and inspiring. At times there is great work/life balance. Bonuses and retirement package are top notch and the only thing keeping many there during incredible times of turbulence.

Cons

What was once a place of respect and collaboration has quickly slipped into an oligarchy with more brown-nosing and backbiting than you can fathom. Notice any positive reviews are coming from senior managers, on a campaign to clean up the ratings here. Work is expected to happen at double speed, with little to no support in proper channels to complete with any level of success. More senior management is getting hired when there aren't enough associates to complete the work. You are expected to answer emails all weekend and on all vacations. Autonomy and ownership of work is non-existent anymore. Structured agile, not functioning agile. Teams are too large to be nimble so you become reduced to email answering cogs.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
