Pros

VP-level advocate for practical work-life balance. Engineering managers are all ex-engineers. Committed to keeping employees employed, even with economic recessions.

Cons

As part of strategy to prevent lay-offs, runs lean on engineers. Very slow to adopt modern technologies, including C++ standards, programming languages, compilers, CI/CD tools, and development practices. Minimal benefits offering. No competitive pay for employees with federal clearance.
