Pros

Predictable work hours, job security, culture is open and coworkers are great!

Cons

No incentives or support from management to help younger employees move up and grow their career or develop new skill sets. Finance is considered a support function and not a strategic function at the company so Finance staff is not rewarded as much for their contributions. Company pays Finance employees significantly below market price.

Pros

VP-level advocate for practical work-life balance. Engineering managers are all ex-engineers. Committed to keeping employees employed, even with economic recessions.

Cons

As part of strategy to prevent lay-offs, runs lean on engineers. Very slow to adopt modern technologies, including C++ standards, programming languages, compilers, CI/CD tools, and development practices. Minimal benefits offering. No competitive pay for employees with federal clearance.
