Pros

They place high value on people. There are endless challenging problems to work on. There are incredibly smart people in my organization (Mathematics and Computing Technology).

Cons

Hard to make a difference. Too many fiefdoms that are being protected at the expense of moving the company forward. Poor direction for funding and transitioning research.

Pros

Good place to start good benefits and pay. Time off and emergency time off is good. Trainning is good if people apply themselfs. Motivated and intelligent people can go a long way. Excellent apprenticeship program.

Cons

A lot of supervision is incompetent belittling and harassing employees to hide their own inadequacies. Too much politicing and posterior kissing to accomplish any serious changes. They have ruinied more than a few employees promising careers. Because of stupid or ignorant policies or personality clashes.
