Interesting projects, challenging environment. It's always possible to improve processes Not much dead wood - people are sharp Clear procedures to follow to get things done Kids at work day is GREAT! Nice facilities Free on-campus fitness center - great yoga classes

Cons

It takes a lot of effort to get buy-in for non-standard process Management doesn't promote from within Lots of competition for promotion because everyone is well-qualified Too much process Cumbersome to get things done with their structure Contractors are given limited privileges

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
