Pros

Weren't a lot of pros in Aurora. In Boulder, the work was great! People in Aurora were mostly alright. But the work was awful.

Cons

Mismanagement, lack of long-term vision. My number one problem with them was that management doesn't care what you want to work on -- no focus on employee job satisfaction. They just need butts in seats. Classic "fog a mirror" program -- "if you can fog a mirror, you're hired." Very unorganized and mismanaged. No communication between teams whatsoever.

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at. And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
