Pros

Challenging projects, good benefits, growth opportunities for inner circle members only.

Cons

Narcissistic, self-important, often inept managers in Virginia who get others to do their work for them and contribute very little. Incompetent managers who always improvise in addition to favoritism and lack of transparency have tarnished the company reputation in the whole region.
