Pros

Great pay, great benefits- 401K match, pension, paid sick days, 3 weeks vacation starting.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant, trumps good business decisions. Company strategy is nonexistent with sales expansions one year and layoffs the next. Internal unspoken company policy is quintessentially “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Leadership preaches the five principles but does not walk the talk. There is a Consistent disconnect between internal team objectives and leadership regarding the realities of the job. Employees often go without the basic tools to do their jobs and are expected to create solutions which are then labeled “ development projects” outside of regular job duties and business hours.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
