Pros

The people are happy and helpful. They offer a 9/80 work schedule. The benefits package is good and includes pension in addition to a 401K with match. The company is willing to spend money on training their employees.

Cons

There is not enough team building events. More time should be spent focusing on building camaraderie amongst members inside and outside of individual departments. Community service and improving the public image is not a big concern.

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
