Pros

- Prestigious national organization - Not a lot of overtime required - Lots of room for moves (both upward and lateral) within the company

Cons

- No incentive to overachieve - Standard protocol can sometimes be frustrating - They removed all of the Starbucks coffee machines from the building and stopped the free shuttle from DC to Rockville once the recession hit (couldn't think of anything else)

Pros

- Excellent coworkers and managers: talented and amiable, both the staff and management made it a pleasure to go to work. - Work/life balance was respected, and management was very open to taking time off for personal or family reasons, as well as working around schedules for necessities like doctor's appointments. - Pace of work was quick and challenging, but never overwhelming. - Management was very open to letting employees experience new processes or switching around to related sections to broaden their experiences.

Cons

- Compensation, comparing to industry average, is a bit on the low side; but is not shockingly so. - Internal tech support was spotty: some techs were knowledgeable and helpful, while others seemed unable or unwilling to do any work whatsoever.
