Pros

Great Learning environment, reasonable pay, good benefits, interesting projects, good research and development budget, privately owned.

Cons

Federal contracts are tedious and add bloat to costs, additionally regulations in contracts change frequently which create confusion. Slow to adopt better processes. The federal vaccine mandates additionally made it unreasonable to work for a government contractor. It left the company with a choice between contracts or no contracts. The company obviously chose the contracts. I disagree with state run business, it goes against our Constitution and the Vaccine Mandates represent unprecedented government interference in private business.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
