Pros

The benefits are fantastic. I've yet to come across a benefits package like Draper's. This is the reason why most people stay.

Cons

You will be over worked and underpaid. Depending on your team, micromanagement is a priority over the mental health of employees. Managers are all talk . They have no desire to mentor you or help you grow. They would rather put in effort to make you miserable and make you feel like you're worthless. Don't expect any praise, promotions, significant raises, etc... Management will find ways to reprimand you instead of teach you. Management will put the blame on you and throw you under the bus before taking accountability for their actions. They will step on anybody to get further in the company.

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.
