Pros

Good benefits, nice buildings, interesting work

Cons

After one round of layoffs and more planned layoffs before the end of the summer, the environment isn’t what it used to be. Management should stop hiring people just to put them on the bench. People are confused and concerned about job security.

Reshaping!

Pros

Although they're trimming back, benefits are still great. Campuses in Bedford and McLean are also outstanding facilities.

Cons

Work/Life balance is skewed and not what they advertise. I've seen more "Need it NOW!" projects that didn't have real deadlines in the last 6 months than in my over 10 years of being here. They performed what they termed a "reshaping" which was basically a layoff and THEN starting trying to figure out how to reorganize the division. With more on the way, adding more anxiety to an already poor morale.
