Pros

Interesting company and products. There is nothing else I can say about the company.

Cons

Absolutely archaic in their approach to everything. Resistant to change or new ideas outside of the "good old boy" way of thinking and the Italian way of thinking.

Pros

As an American working in DC forever, I love this company. The cultural experience has been amazing. The office at 1625 I Street is superior in style and beauty. Love the Italians...warm, generous and kind. Easy going atmosphere, but underneath lies a hardworking team that supports another. Best benefits by far. There are some who complain, but they don't know that the grass gets no greener than this! We make really cool stuff too!

Cons

Pay could be better, but benefits cannot be beat so if you look deeper, your total compensation is better than what appears on the surface. Would like to see more training/education to support upward mobilty available (i.e., paid for by the company).
