Pros

Great co-workers (60% are awesome, 30% average, 10% are terrible) Challenging environment Good place to get hands on experience with new skills

Cons

60+ hours/week is a regular expectation Poor salary compared to other employers Directors and management will literally yell and berate people they do not like rather than solve the problem Too much fire-fighting and little long-term prevention of problems Low employee morale

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

The mission. Work life balance. Great co workers. Opportunity to work on various products.

Cons

Typical issues of a HUGE company. Too many title chasers with lack of accountability. Stock has been flat for years.
