Pros

Every other Friday off Cool Technology Three year vested pension (take it and run) Poway has nice weather (i am only still writing because I needed twenty words)

Cons

Vacation and sick days combined. Zero-employee development. Your rank in the military determines where you can go. Do nothing an get paid mentality. Zero recognition for key contributors

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
