Pros

-Fantastic people; hard-working, intelligent, and fun -Interesting work -Amazing products -Great office location

Cons

Nearly all of the cons are related to parent company (Rolls-Royce plc) not understanding the US market or management problems in the UK: - terrible healthcare (may be similar to market in Indianapolis (large Rolls-Royce facility) but not similar to DC market; - low pay for the work performed; - horrifyingly poor IT (Reston team has much better IT than corresponding teams in UK); - incredibly bureaucratic organization that hinders employees ability to respond to the needs of both the business and its customers; - global company that cannot seem to understand how to function outside the UK.
