Pros

Great company to work for. They value investing time in the teaching and development of it's employees, while setting clear expectations on performance. Very laid back and flexible when it comes to your time, as long as you stay on top of your work. Fun, family culture with great pay and benefits.

Cons

Need a little bit more organization in terms of the initial onboarding of new employees. I personally did not have a problem picking up on things quickly, but some new employees may get lost without direction. Once you show that you are capable of doing the work they will invest in your development.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
