Pros
Company has great products and technology. It's pleasure working with smart people. In my team we are always motivated to think outside the box. Analysis is done to the deepest level and technical brainstorming is thorough. Detailed planning is expected from every member of the team. Apart from great learning opportunity, company provides great benefits. Flexible work hours, best work-life balance, on-site 24x7 full fledged gym facility with instructor training, in campus basket ball, tennis courts, great location in Reston.
Cons
Due to cut throat competition among team members, everyone tries to please the supervisor leading to politics and favoritism. Higher management encourages to identify 2 champions per team and feed them with all accolades. This leads to complacency of top 2 and demoralization of other team members. Some managers are very macro managers and don't take critics positively. other cons: Very slow promotion, if you are in good book you will be promoted irrespective of your skills, talent; many deserving good engineers leave due to no promotion.
