Pros

- Talented people motivated to succeed, about 15% of the employees have been here 10 years or more - Great existing products and exciting new products - Fun and challenging work with cutting edge technologies - Facilities improving - Nats and Orioles season tickets available for everyone, including Diamond Club for Nats -- I love baseball - Wolf Trap, Kennedy Center, other venues tickets for free -- enjoyed many fun events with co-workers and sometimes with family and friends when no other co-workers take the tickets - Company holiday party and the free raffle of gift certificates

Cons

- HR struggling to keep up with the company's growth - Company outgrowing the existing facilities, many ongoing renovations can be a hassle, others too slow to start - Benefits like vacation should be upgraded to be competitive

Pros

I have nothing to say here. All said under cons.

Cons

Terrible place to work. Horrible benefits, almost no leave, they make you work two saturdays a year to get a couple days off in December, instead of just giving you the vacation days as a benefit. No work / life balance. Company could not care less if you are spending all your nights and weekends putting in extra time to get the job done - in fact its encouraged.
