Pros

The company has a long history, and a number of clients have worked with RFA for decades for their engineering needs The company culture is strong, warm, and hard-working; the work done interviewing and hiring is focused almost as much on how the candidate would fit in with the company as it is on the basic qualifications All of the Partners and Management within the organization genuinely want their employees to succeed, and their collective hard work has helped the company mature and grow beyond what any metrics could show

Cons

Corporate decisions made by clients aren't always predictable, and can cause them to pull funding or work away from RFA in low business cycles; conversely, projects may come in requiring immediate help that can cause disruption or shifting of priorities and employees Cycles of business can cause fluctuations in staffing levels (which management continues to address by diversifying their client and project base)

Don't expect your skill set to be fully utilized.

Pros

Overtime usually available. Usually not watching over your shoulder. Quiet but friendly employees. Company usually gives additional 401k money if they meet goals for the quarter.

Cons

Usually very boring and repetitive when work. No music streaming on the computer and dead silent office. Eden Prairie is expensive to live in and driving in in the mornings can take a long time with rush hour. They seem to fire people as soon as work gets slow. No warning on these terminations either. Work is dependent on which group you're in, so it could be extremely boring for years when you see new people coming in and getting new and exciting work. Unpaid lunch is only 30 minutes.

Pros

RFA has built a strong reputation with its clients which provides very diverse opportunities for its employees to get involved. This in turn produces a strong knowledge base off of which to build your future engineering career.

Cons

The most obvious con is that RFA is an engineering service provider, so your salary will not be at the high end of the spectrum.
