      Pros

      There used to be a lot of good reasons to work here. It's kinda hard to think of any now. I guess if you like working crazy hours and constant fire-fighting, constant change, then you would love it here because you will never get bored.

      Cons

      Management is so intent on turning all their RFT's into contractors, that we are losing talent everyday. And along with that talent goes a lot of knowledge that increasingly makes our daily activities harder.

      Pros

      Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

      Cons

      Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
