      Hard Place to Work

      Pros

      I learned more in a year here than I would in 3 years at another company since the pace was so fast, the job requirements so intense, and the hours so long.

      Cons

      The culture is one of micro-management from the top down. At the corporate office we had to badge in and out--not just to maintain safety and security, but so that a "badge report" could be sent to the CEO listing anyone who came in or left outside of the company's "core hours" between 9 and 4. It didn't matter if the employee is a senior-level engineer who spent all night on a satellite--he would be on the bad list.

      Pros

      I work with some very good, friendly, and competent people. The atmosphere is a bit laid-back in the right ways. At least at the 'micro' level of management, there's a level of recognition for hard work.

      Cons

      It's really just a place to work. They tend to pie-in-the-sky estimate software delivery schedules, expect weekends, and then the raises don't measure-up to the increased revenue figures in the quarterly statements. No real solid route of advancement.
