      Pros

      Work on interesting projects that are important to advancing science and the betterment of mankind. Many capable and smart people working at Draper.

      Bureaucratic company. If you are not located in Cambridge, it's very difficult to get appropriate recognition for work and accomplishments performed.

      Great technology company, stagnant personal growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good technical challenges to solve. Benefits, time off (sick and vacation) and retirement matching plan. Some of the best technical people to work with.

      Cons

      People work on projects and once you are done, it is your responsibility to find another one. There is poor growth for people with Masters and Bachelors. The criteria for promotions are vague, arbitrary and changing. There are employees who have spent their entire careers (>30 years) doing the same job.
