Pros

Interesting projects and what used to be a wide variety of research topics Some intellectual freedom to pursue bleeding-edge research and spin-off topics

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism, ageism, elitism Time is managed by billable hours; almost impossible to take vacation or sick days Desire to focus on IT-like products to homogenize workforce and minimize salaries Company is top-heavy: too many director chiefs, few tribal councillors and too few Indians

Thank you for your feedback; we hope that you also shared this with company leaders when you were here and did not wait until leaving to share your thoughts. We certainly don't view our team members as cogs and we are often humbled by the knowledge and talent that our employees bring to the organization. It seems as though this was not a good cultural/personality fit and sometimes that is just to be expected. We wish you much success.

Engineers and scientists at the company were driven and brilliant, but program and upper management has no clue.

Pros

The opportunity to set research direction, write proposals, win business, deliver systems to wonderful customers was hard for me to leave.

Cons

Management does not believe in delivering quality and has decidedly moved away from research and development as a focus to basic IT services, hiring people of less quality in the process. Since the goal of the company is to charge the government for every hour of your time, they make it very hard to take vacations or even holidays without making up the time sitting at a desk. The company is clearly not goals-oriented, but hours-oriented.
