Pros

This is a great place to learn and expand your technical horizons. There are plenty of opportunities to attend technical talks, conferences on-site, and meetings with sponsors. Management style in my division is generally hands-off, which is fantastic for self-motivated people.

Cons

A small minority of employees, including some contractors, do not care about the work and simply punch the clock. Even worse, I have personally observed one contractor actively wasting most of his time on the internet with no consequences--so far. We do this person no favor by ignoring his dysfunctional behavior, but the rest of us have no incentive to report it to management. This is definitely an opportunity for improvement!

Pros

Good, competitive pay for co-op students and summer interns. There are ample opportunities to learn new things. Lots of other students.

Cons

The extra security can be obnoxious at times, but it is a necessity due to the nature of the work.
