      Pros

      Most employees are exceptionally qualified and professional. Support home/life balance

      Cons

      Flat structure often results in not enough leadership. While travel is not required, it helps your chance of promotion, which is limited Salary increases are small.

      Thank you for your insight. The flat organization exists by design to minimize administration. Hopefully it pushes leadership to the level where decision making occurs. Travel often has the benefit of increasing interaction with the sponsor and exposure to the field application of projects. In that regard it is helpful but it is not often required on an involuntary basis.

      Pros

      It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

      Pros

      great people to work with, but not for.

      Cons

      Leadership needs to look inward and see what is wrong. If you want to get hired here you must need to know someone hire up.
