Pros

the mission 401K match is awesome large investment in training programs

Cons

review process uses bell curve/forced ranking model so it is nearly impossible to get above a 3 on the 3-5 scale (ie...for everyone who gets a 4 someone has to get a 2). As a manager this is makes reviews hard to deliver and employees find it demotivating. There are numerous layers of senior leadership that are clearly not aligned on priorities and are out of touch with the business

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
