Smart coworkers Great location in Cambridge, MA 401k matching benefits and access to MIT facilities Projects can be very challenging and technically interesting.

Cons

The office environment doesn't promote collaboration across the company and it can be difficult to learn from your coworkers. Your project may be great, or it may be boring or ill-defined or poorly managed.

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.
