Pros

Very interesting and unique projects, Get to work with some very smart people. Pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

The management structure is very confusing. Expectations are unreasonable sometimes. Overall management of projects needs improvement. Management culture is one that sometimes utilizes fear and intimidation to accomplish goals. Cooperation and general trust between departments is not very good. Hierarchy with team members not clearly defined by management.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
