Pros

I really enjoyed that most people I worked around were nice. Exciting work always happening, and great access for networking. The location is great and is central to all the academic areas.

Cons

The pay wasn't the greatest compared to industry standard for my career field - security/DoD. But other than that, there are really not any negatives that come to mind.

Pros

Dynamic work environment with many opportunities to get experience in a variety of fields. Management is accommodating and respectful of employee time.

Cons

While Draper works on a wide variety of projects, I found I didn’t get much of a say in what I was working on. I was placed on projects that didn’t align with my stated preferences.
