Pros

Benefits are great. Professional Development and tuition reimbursement have been helpful for expanding my options.

Cons

Work/Life balance is atrocious. When hired we discussed 6 months deployed, 6 months home with occasional deviations for training or if they company needed. I will have been gone for 12 of 14 months in the near future. Much of management is in the position they are in because they have been with the company long enough and were willing to take massive pay cuts to not deploy anymore, not because of any leadership qualities. Rules will often be overlooked if they are inconvenient to enforce.

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
