      Pros

      Hughes has a very deep technical talent pool, espcially in area of satellite and wireless communications. A new grad or junior engineer can learn a lot quickly from just being immersed in the enviroment.

      Cons

      Hughes' business has so far been niched in commerical satellite business. Several attempts to breakout into other adjacent area such as cellar or goverment are were not very successful. Hughes is top heavy in term of management structure and has a rather large mid-management and lots of politics between them.

      Pros

      Worklife balance Great People Focus Employees Other events/group to particpate in outside of work Discounts to local events in the area
