Pros

Interesting but slow projects, stock options.

Cons

For the size of the company: poor management, poor communication, internal training nonexistent, unrealistic salary offers to promote internal career opportunities. Only one provider option for health insurance...overpriced.

Pros

It's a job. One that I don't look forward to showing up to but need to pay the bills.

Cons

Don't expect support if you're not working on the "main campus." Out of sight, out of mind fits the bill perfectly

Pros

Love the mission of the company

Cons

If you don’t bill directly to the govt or aren’t an executive, you are not paid fairly and are only seen as a cost
