Pros

Good work life balance. Opportunities to have them pay for graduate courses. The library will purchase books on request, regardless of if they are related to the work.

Cons

Difficult to maneuver matrix organization. You are hired into one task, and it is hard to move into other tasks. You have to network in person, but this is difficult because of the size of the company and how quickly positions fill up.

Pros

Dynamic work environment with many opportunities to get experience in a variety of fields. Management is accommodating and respectful of employee time.

Cons

While Draper works on a wide variety of projects, I found I didn’t get much of a say in what I was working on. I was placed on projects that didn’t align with my stated preferences.
