Pros

Above average salaries, good benefits, smart colleagues, intellectually challenging, mission-focused

Cons

Functions like a consulting firm so you always have to "hunt" for project coverage within the company. This causes a lot of stress and lowers morale. The company went through multiple rounds of layoffs in 2025, losing about 20% of the workforce.
