      Not as good looking from the inside

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In general the company has a decent salary, benefits package, however the bosses recently cut pension and retiree healthcare. If you want to you can usually stay where you're at for a long time. Des Moines has some good places to live and schools are fair.

      Cons

      There is no chance for advancement based on merit. Lack of diversity, everyone, especially who gets promoted is all connected somehow, related, frat brother, etc. Upper management is never held accountable for mistakes. Employees find out about important events via newsmedia before being told at work.

      Great Place To Learn

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Given the opportunity to manage multiple projects and learn new areas of research.

      Cons

      During peak times, there was very little down time. Based on the increased workload during these times, everyone would have to put in very long hours to be able to meet the required tasks/project deadlines.
