Pros

Interesting work, smart people, good benefits, collegial atmosphere.

Cons

Weak management has not kept up to date with modern business operations. For example; payroll is still done in house and on a weekly basis. The organization is very siloed resulting in a lot of inefficiency.

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.
