I enjoyed my job very much, and was able to work pretty independently. The work was always interesting and challenging. - Program Manager Kitware Employee Review

Pros

Great job workplace, professional, yet compassionate. Tons of opportunity for the energetic engineer. Senior Management and Engineers worked shoulder to shoulder. Always open for new, good ideas.

Cons

Workload was always cyclical, with high peaks being difficult to manage. Company growing pains were apparent while the company was increasing by 50% each year.

- Compensation is on the lower side - Mostly government/federally funded work. Not necessarily a con, but could be depending on your preferences
