Pros

Interesting projects, casual work environment, flexible hours. If you prove yourself capable, you can have a good bit of influence on the direction of your team's work. The company is always working on new R&D so things stay interesting. Your mileage may vary depending on your team. Co-workers and managers are generally smart and friendly people.

Cons

Teams can get stuck in their ways. There is resistance to overhauling old code, so you can get stuck dealing with hacked-together legacy code and poor design decisions. There is often too much focus on adding new features and not enough on quality. Again, mileage varies by manager and team.

Thanks for leaving this review, we appreciate you taking the time to do this. We try to foster an environment where people can shine via their skills and expertise. We're a fast moving company and continually expanding our products, so boredom isn't a malady suffer from. The need for us to pivot quickly is just our reality. We'll definitely bring the code issue to the attention of management, as we think that's a really good point to highlight. We want to keep the environment for our devs fresh, as this is what makes the work interesting, and yes it probably does vary by team. We do know there are some things in the works to assist with this though. Thanks again for the thoughtful review, and we also liked the "mileage varies" quote, it was clever!

Thanks for your review, and the positive comments. We definitely recommend that employees take charge of their career and seek out new opportunities with their managers. We do move fast, and employees being proactive in their development is definitely recommended. In response to compensation, we definitely review our compensation ranges on a regular cadence, using several national surveys and also the current trends in the local markets. We typically find ourselves right in the mix with the averages based on this data and research.

Pros

The company has a very convenient location in Reston center (DC metro area), close to metro and bus station and public garages. The company treats you with free coffer, sodas, and potato chips

Cons

Very low professional ethic, most of managers are not technically literate. There are lots political games and wasteful meetings. If you are an engineer your promising is impossible unless you have close relationship with high management.
