Pros

The products are cool Org structure conducive to career development

Cons

They shut down our facility and required us to pay back tuition assistance if we left prior to our layoff date to pursue other employment. This was despite the facts that the leadership program requires participants to get a masters and that people were not required to pay back tuition in previous site closures. This affected multiple people and the bills were quite large. Salary is a bit below market

Pros

- Huge company with diverse work - Leadership program opportunities for any experience level - Semi-transparent managerial style - Job security for the most part - depending on volatility of the customer

Cons

- Difficult government customers - Don't expect much creative control - Don't expect much design experience on legacy programs - Don't expect maintaining competitive edge on other software engineers in the free market through work alone - you'll have to do this on your own
