Pros

Hard working atmosphere, professionals, good pay, and friendly. Sandbaggers and slackers don't last long and with the growth of the company, there is plenty of room for personal growth. Compensation is good (especially for the area) and management pushes for continuous improvement, then increases compensation after you better yourself to match your increased value. Focus on long-term growth is great (as opposed to quarterly bottom line) and recognition is distributed where earned. There is a lot of pride, but fewer egos. I've been with the company for 2 years and love coming to work because of the people and camaraderie I feel here.

Cons

The growing size of the company means that culture is going to change, and hiring new talent inevitably results in picking up a few poor fits. PTO = Pretend Time Off, but is self-inflicted and due to the feeling of responsibility for your own job.

Pros

There are some good people there with good hearts.

Cons

No loyalty to those who make sacrifices for the company. Management does not deal with some employees in a professional manner while others are shown favortism.

Pros

Nice facility with a nice view of the river. Latest technology friendly people (mostly).

Cons

The management in this company is woefully inept. The organizational structure is such that several groups are under the same "senior" leader who is so busy juggling multiple roles that keeping track of what's going on with the customer isn't one of the top priorities. Titles mean nothing here. Authority is limited to a few select individuals who have been with the company since it's inception. Engineers are treated well and if asked to do something they don't want to do, will run to one of the "senior" leaders who will override any direction given towards delivering on a contract. The organization lacks some basic customer support skills and relies on senior engineers to do both support and installations. It's really all about how many certifications they can get so as to acquire more government contracts. Then, it's impossible to get resources scheduled to fulfill their commitments because everyone is fighting for the same handful of competent people. Sales engineers write agreements knowing that the skill to perform the work doesn't exist, then the scramble to find a resource begins. There is no room for growth in this place. Once you are hired to do a job, that's where you will stay until they decide they don't need you anymore. The benefits are mediocre at best. It's a PR machine that focuses on making money from the government.
