Pros

Potentially great projects Good pay Extremely flexible schedule. Benefits great but are slowly being cut down.

Cons

1. Everything is run by incompetent managers 2. No desire to change or improve, because constantly financial success. 3. Constant re-org, because of brain drain. 4. Time wasting go-nowhere initiatives 5. 1 our of 5 people in non-science/research divisions really knows their job. 6. Non-profit somehow more money grubbing than for-profit.

Pros

My memory of the HR representative at my exit interview was priceless.

Cons

I came for the mission, and left for the leadership. 10/10 would not ride again. LPT: If you are a white male, veteran who likes to fly the American flag at your desk, you will find better opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

Good benefits, I guess? Some people are great to work with.

Cons

They claim that you can have a flexible work schedule but track employees' time in the office and send your manager after you if you spend below 80% time in the office. Claim that all employees are eligible to telecommute but will push back hard when this is requested. Raises are paltry. Expect a cost of living raise and nothing more unless you get a promotion, in which case you'll get about a 10% raise. Promotions are based on checking boxes on a list and only considered once per year. No flexibility in this checklist, even if your job role doesn't involve some of the requirements for promotions. It's all a very slow process and isn't based at all on merit, it seems; once you get promoted to one level there seems to be a time requirement before you get another promotion, regardless of performance. No one seems to mind when employees are oversold- if you have too many hours and are overwhelmed, too bad. Conversely, if you need work, no one seems to be terribly concerned with helping you find it. Upper management is not at all forthcoming about overhead hours spent. They want employees to spend 10% of their time on "professional development" (never defined) and charge that to overhead, yet demand that if one needs to spend more than thirty minutes of time on overhead they report it to their manager. There is very little to no collaboration across divisions, though every year upper management promises that it will help the company do better. This has never happened.
