Pros

Interesting projects; flexible working environment; great benefits. Strong history and interesting people.

Cons

Matrix organization-new opportunities hard to get unless 'selected'- need strong internal network to thrive and get assigned to good projects to grow your career. Many staff are underutilized due to poor task assignments.

Pros

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

Cons

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