      Great Experience Prior to Graduate School

      Pros

      Gain insight on Draper culture, projects, and work flow without being a full time employee. Most interns work a summer on one project only which allows you to focus on one project well and also helps expedite some aspects of the project. Great opportunity to show skills and network for a potential job offer as a full time employee.

      Cons

      Not always on a critical path of a project.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits benefits benefits Can be low pressure environment depending on your manager and work New atrium is cool place to work, good for internal networking and customer visits

      Cons

      Because pay is fair and benefits are excellent, most staff feel trapped in a place they don't enjoy, and don't have the energy to search for another job. Cons for me were mostly program based, and your experience is likely based on which projects you are on. Most staff work around the systems in place for most processes: promoting, delegating work, hiring, to name a few. My program had an attitude of finding work to do because we had money coming in rather than because we had specific project needs. There was a large pressure on the staff member to find work rather than work being assigned or delegated.

      Great tech company with strong tradition in precision instruments and education

      Pros

      Flexibility to work on a variety of projects. Great place for self-starters. Strong tech staff.

      Cons

      In somewhat of a transitional period, moving from DoD focused tech (longer terms and perhaps riskier) to commercial applications (shorter-term results).
