      Good opportunities to follow your passion

      Pros

      There are a high percentage of engineers and scientists with advanced degrees. The work is interesting and there are a large number of small research projects. The benefits are some of the best I've seen. If you have an idea and can find funding for it, ARA gives you a lot of freedom to pursue the idea.

      Cons

      The majority of work is focused on the defense industry, so defense cutbacks have an impact on the business. Business processes are ad hoc at times.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent schedule flexibility. Retirement benefits above and beyond those offered at most (if not all) other local companies. Casual dress. No cubicles.

      Cons

      Management emphasizes that all employees are to perform marketing work, but were no good examples to follow. There was some trouble with stability at the time of my departure.
