Draper - Only work here if you are an engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Location, Great Benefits, Great Engineers

Cons

Diversity is just a word here. Women are second class citizens, (women treat women terribly at all levels). 99% of managers are only in it for themselves, they don't actually have the qualifications or skill sets to manage people. That why there is such a big exodus from the company. Bad managers kiss up to keep their jobs. If there was a 360 review process, Draper could probably clean house to recruit managers that actually care about developing and mentoring their employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Good care for employees. Many smart people. Mostly good coworkers. Flexible work hours. Some managers work for their employees and try to help them succeed. Company striving for a diverse workforce. Great location if want to be in the heart of a big city.

Cons

Very poor raises, especially compared with area cost-of-housing increases. Raises aren't correlated with performance in practice, which limits motivation. Promotions are rare beyond a certain level. A few employees are misogynist. Poor organization of who works what project, and you have to sell yourself within the company to get work. Some managers are bullies. Many employees feel company has gone a bit downhill in last decade, and time will tell what new President brings in 2021+. Bad location if want to live in the suburbs.
