Pros

If I were thinking of working for Tecolote Research, here's what I'd be glad to know: Tecolote is an employee owned company offering a salary and benefits package that's way above average, and you can't find better job security anywhere... Tecolote never lays off their staff just because they lose a contract (layoffs are common for government contracting firms).

Cons

Overall, management is effective and pays attention to employees, however there is some variation in front line management from office-to-office, so "your mileage may vary."

Pros

I am so lucky that all these many years ago Tecolote Research hired, trained and allowed me to dictate my career path. I am privileged to be part of an industry critical to our nation’s well-being and even more fortunate to be part of the Tecolote family. Many companies preach a family atmosphere because it sounds nice and is a strong marketing ploy. It is a reality here at Tecolote, and we work hard every day to maintain a welcoming, close knit, and professional atmosphere. While I have had many opportunities to go elsewhere, I am thankful I did not. I am looking forward to many more fruitful years at Tecolote.

Cons

As with any organization, communication can always be improved but it is an area of focus here.
