Pros

Very interesting and unique projects, Get to work with some very smart people. Pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

The management structure is very confusing. Expectations are unreasonable sometimes. Overall management of projects needs improvement. Management culture is one that sometimes utilizes fear and intimidation to accomplish goals. Cooperation and general trust between departments is not very good. Hierarchy with team members not clearly defined by management.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
