Pros

Good benefits (dental, medical, vision & 401(k)) and decent compensation when you start. One of few companies that still has a pension plan. Most employees are on a 9/80 schedule with off-Fridays.

Cons

Low annual raises. Sick time & vacation time are combined leading to employees coming into work sick in order to avoid taking vacation time. Lack of flexibility with work schedule. Senior management is disconnected from needs of employees. Lack of diversity in senior management.

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
