Pros

They have a big campus. Seems pretty hard to get laid off. Work life balance is important. It’s possible to grow in your career if you are proactive.

Cons

Crackdowns on return to work and flexible schedule. Feels like management makes poor decisions and treats engineers like they are hourly. Not a lot of truly creative work being done, would have to go to another company. They don’t expect much from you but the pay also reflects that. You can’t get a raise without moving to a new role,

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at. And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
