Pros

- Intelligent, caring teammates - Flexible and supportive management - Exciting work domain with challenging problems - People-focused, innovative, fast-paced culture - Opportunity to make a big impact by wearing many different hats - Your work has purpose for our primarily defense related customer base - Competitive salary, bonuses ,and benefits

Cons

Overall very few cons. A couple nitpicky things: - Defense Domain means projects often don't survive long duration. Some people do get frustrated in the turnover of their work. - Could be more generous with PTO. It's fairly industry standard but its an area where STR could continue to set itself apart as a top company if they were to expand the earning schedule and thresholds.

Pros

- Great Compensation - Highly knowledgeable and engaged coworkers - Very engaging and interesting work: just not enough time in a day to get it all done. - Great office amenities

Cons

- Really poor work life balance; this job is likely your coworker's entire life - Unreasonable expectations; the company is very much still in its infancy and looking to expand, though they haven't quite figured out what it looks like to deploy physical systems responsibly to external customers - Don't expect any leniency when it comes to learning the team or the field: stay engaged, and stay vocal of what you're doing and when. - Not the kind of team where employees can take a task and work separately before returning with results - they're looking for constant engagement and daily collaboration even if it isn't necessary.
