Pros

Fantastic benefits, medical, vision, dental, 401k, ESOP. Company tries to accommodate work schedules. Cares about employees.

Cons

Government contractor, can't blame them when contracts don't get renewed and job loss occurs, unstable work environment due to this. Educational opportunities rarely available to support staff, mostly just technical staff.

Pros

As an Intern I got my own office, nameplate, and was not treated as an intern - I was treated as an employee.

Cons

Needed to know a little bit better what exactly they wanted their intern to do.
