Pros

Amazing experienced technical staff, Draper did the GNC for the moon landing and All the navy ICBMs. They know what they are doing with GNC and also have great experience in micro electronics (accelerometers). Major work in Defense and Aerospace, Special Ops, Healthcare, Great benefits: they put in $2 for every $1 you put in. "Family First" when it comes to work life balance. If you have a problem or need to rearrange schedule to accommodate family needs, they will work with you.

Cons

sometimes have difficulty knowing what others are working on. consistently get minor raises, but hard to get a big raise/promotion unless you join the management path.

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.
