Pros

Great tech, most employees are smart and hardworking. Oppurtunities to learn outside of work.

Cons

Generally inept middle management and team-level leadership (there are some great directors/managers), few oppurtunites for career growth unless you are pre-selected to advance (younger, don't question anything, play politics with the right senior directors). Once you get about 2 years in and learn what you need to, there are way better oppurtinities in the industry for double the pay and half the hours.

Pros

Some of the nicest and most helpful people, but fewer as they keep getting laid off or pushed out because of toxic leadership. The mission is a high priority for some. Great place to work for a very short time, then go.

Cons

Poor leadership, constantly changing without taking any time to understand impacts. Decisions only benefit a small group of friends who only respect other former FBI agents and their contributions. Morale is in the gutter and it comes off as intentional. Women are disappearing from management ranks and only tolerated as long as they are agreeable. People get resources based on popularity with the in group so some teams burn out while others have little to do.
