Pros

Very smart staff trying to solve very difficult technology R&D problem. Very interesting military domains. Very solid corporate history and reputation as an excellent small business DoD research shop. World class reputation in human computer interaction.

Cons

Confusion and shortsightedness . Continuous restructuring of senior management has created a very unstable environment. Lack of focus on sustaining the business for long term survival in favor of short term revenue objectives. Continuous loss of senior technical staff has left a bottom heavy organization that means well but has no real technical or operational leadership.

Pros

Having started as a temp, I was not sure what to expect when the company was sold and the new management team took over. I was pleasantly surprised and felt valued, even as a temp. I was hired as a permanent employee, despite the fact that I was 6-months pregnant at the time. I find that the current state of the company shows great promise and amazing potential for future success. Through my experience, I can say that the company really does value its employees and has been nothing but honorable in their management of my employment. I have rarely experienced the type of flexibility, understanding and overall motivation that is present here. The atmosphere is so mellow and calm, it feels great to work for a company that truly doesn't play "office politics" or put bureaucracy before the well-being of its employees.

Cons

My hours have been reduced recently and I am anxious to return to full-time work with CHI. Also, rush hour traffic between my home in Delaware County and Plymouth Meeting is somewhat of a nightmare.
