Challenging and important work! Highly intelligent and dedicated colleagues. High value placed on individual accomplishment within a dynamic team framework. Accessible and transparent leadership. Work hard, play hard culture. Numerous company outings: Family picnic (at CEO's home), golf tournament, ski day, Bisons game, Sabres tickets, Bills tickets, holiday party, curling, kayaking, Sky High, happy hours, etc. Incredibly generous benefits, especially paid time off, medical coverage and retirement contributions. Market competitive salaries. 100% of staff eligible for annual cash incentives (and bonuses are actually paid out)!! Flexible, hybrid remote/office/lab working arrangements when possible. Leadership strives to treat everyone as family.
Cons
Such technologically challenging projects can at times be stressful, especially given the mission and time criticality of our work to the Nation's defense, intelligence, space and health.
