Pros

Benefits benefits benefits Can be low pressure environment depending on your manager and work New atrium is cool place to work, good for internal networking and customer visits

Cons

Because pay is fair and benefits are excellent, most staff feel trapped in a place they don't enjoy, and don't have the energy to search for another job. Cons for me were mostly program based, and your experience is likely based on which projects you are on. Most staff work around the systems in place for most processes: promoting, delegating work, hiring, to name a few. My program had an attitude of finding work to do because we had money coming in rather than because we had specific project needs. There was a large pressure on the staff member to find work rather than work being assigned or delegated.

Pros

Dynamic work environment with many opportunities to get experience in a variety of fields. Management is accommodating and respectful of employee time.

Cons

While Draper works on a wide variety of projects, I found I didn’t get much of a say in what I was working on. I was placed on projects that didn’t align with my stated preferences.
