Pros

Major competitor across the street makes mid-day interviewing less likely to go noticed. Hires a lot of mentally impaired and otherly handicapped personnel. Cafeteria on site. Carpeting on most of the floors. Pop Tarts in the vending machine.

Cons

There is a maxim in business that says; "A-list talent hires B-list talent and B-list talent hires C-list talent" and so on. Applying this rule, Draeger seems to have an affinity for hiring C-list talent at the top executive levels. Absurdly pedantic management with almost zero experience or aptitude for the roles in which they've been hired. Much of the decent management and engineering talent has smartly moved on. The grotesquely inadequate either get terminated abruptly or work in the shadows of the engineering group carving out self-aggrandized support roles. Or to put it in simple terms of Dante's Inferno; The IT and HR groups specialize primarily in the eighth circle of hell.

Pros

Good product. Good mid-level management.

Cons

Upper-level management seemed detached from employees. Only worry about bottom line.
