Pros

Very exciting projects, all bleeding-edge technology with positive impact on the world. Great culture. Nice, intelligent co-workers with a good sense of team work. CEOs & managers really care about their roles & projects. Flexible hours with good work life balance. Lenient dress code. Great location. On the river, close to city center with lots of good restaurants & things to do.

Cons

Compensation & benefits are not as competitive. Vacation hours is not as competitive. Working from home option not as available due to equipment needed at the office. Miscommunication is common between management & employees. Annual reviews need work.

Pros

You will get to work with brilliant engineers across all disciplines. DEKA will expect you to put in the effort, but will also give you the opportunity to learn, grow, develop industry skills, and use them to improve the quality of life of thousands of people. As a 20 year veteran, you will rest well every night, knowing your work is going to help humanity.

Cons

Nothing in particular. Sometimes remote access is a bit flaky.

Pros

There is a culture of sharing and helping. Flat structure means everyone has a say. Plenty of projects and opportunities. Project dependent, but for the most part a fairly laid back culture.

Cons

Expect about 40% less than market average. They have difficulty keeping the people that are worth it. Year 0 and year 30 at the company have the same benefits, PTO, and bonus. No maternal/paternal benefits. General disbelief that any product will ever hit market or achieve internal milestones.
