Pros

Lot's of growth/opportunities. Many programs are on the cutting edge of science. Overall, most people are nice. Great benefits. A very stable company with lots of long term employees.

Cons

Communication is lacking in some areas. Some managers are just not meant to be managers. Brings on several new policies/IT programs etc in a short period of time. Lack of training on new programs/systems. They could pay some of their hourly staff a little better. Could lose some dead weight as well.

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
