Pros

Good Pay but not according to work life

Cons

1.) Studies and Experience never counts. Only "buddy" relationship at OLS site to limb up the ladder. 2.) Non-Technical Manager, No skills in team lead. 3.) Bad work life with double standards. 4.) Work does not get appreciated. 5.) Feels like working in a jail.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for independent thinking and making early foundational contributions. Leadership principles are legit - folks who buy into them tend to excel and leadership does a good job of recognizing them for it. The mission is also really exciting. 4 weeks PTO, paid holidays, 8 weeks paid bonding leave with additional recovery leave for mothers, tuition assistance after a year of employment.

Cons

Massive growth comes with growing pains. Program projections are often out of touch with reality. For better or worse there seems to be a wide scale disconnect from what would be considered sound project management principles. Most folks at the company have been there less than a year and there are not many well established effective processes. This tends to lead to a pretty chaotic and often ineffective work environment. Executive leadership is pushing hard to get everyone into the office full time. For most people this means driving to a local office to telework with colleagues at other sites.
