Pros

People were generally passionate about the mission of the company. Pay and benefits are very good.

Cons

While I was there I saw many people on the Commercial side completely stressed out and asked to do the impossible with deadlines. People quit without notice from burn out. There was a lot of CYA and backstabbing. Within one year, I witnessed three incidents where people flew off the handle in meetings, literally yelling at subordinates. I haven't seen that kind of behavior since the 90's, and while stress can bring out the worst in people, this seemed to be accepted as part of the culture.
