Pros

Flexible work schedule, great retirement benefits, took very good care of employees who got sick or experienced an illness in the family.

Cons

New CEO has been making drastic changes to work environment that is destroying the Draper culture that has been being built for decades. He is taking away the feeling of job security. Ratings below are for before new CEO.

Pros

Interesting projects, good pay, projects have plenty of money, flexible work environment, great affordable cafeteria. You will never get fired unless you REALLY mess up somehow. The name of the company usually has a big effect on anyone in the industry. It's well respected.

Cons

Too many big egos to deal with, very secretive about everything (even when it's not necessary). The secrecy part can get in the way of completing your work, which can be frustrating. Bad communication was also somewhat common when I was there. This may have been because of the age of people I was working with, but I've worked at other places where communication between team members and other departments was much better and created better work.

Pros

Work on the cutting edge of aerospace technology. Challening projects and opportunities for innovation. Flexible work hours, friendly culture. Excellent retirement benefits. Work with some of the most brilliant people in the industry.

Cons

Mentoring could be better, kind of a sink or swim environment. Not many options for advancement. High employee contribution to health care premium. Non profit ,so not many options for bonuses. Raises are low, unless you develop something like warp drive.
