Pros

Benefits, colleagues, flexible work, student-focused

Cons

Weak leadership consisting of a bunch of highly-paid individuals who have no idea how to steer the ship in this changing climate. Favoritism runs rampant despite efforts to “level the playing field.” DEI is not understood OR appreciated. Teams (at least the many here in Reston) feel overworked. Everyone seems to be looking to get off this sinking ship.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
