Pros

Working in Denver is a great perk, although Watkins is a bit of a haul. Genuinely good people to work with, made the job tolerable. The work is not hard, and it is easy to stand out given the complete lack of talent left in the organization after a mass exodus the past few years.

Cons

Pretty negative experience all around. The most beauracratic company I have ever seen makes it very hard to get things done. No bonuses to speak of anymore or room to advance.
