Pros

Great facility. Great Talent. Excellent teamwork. Awesome opportunity for increasing industry experience.

Cons

As a contractor, beware of the potential for abrupt pay cuts under the auspice of AT WILL work laws, BAD ECONOMY budget cuts and employment pools. Senior Managers and work group leads in certain (but not all) groups are extremely belligerent in their disrespect towards contractors. In certain circumstances, mid-level managers provide disingenuous feedback to augment their performance as it relates to problem resolution and personal/group production. The VITALITY CURVE approach to performance management turns this potentially outstanding company into an extremely stressful work environment outfitted with the fear of job losses and reprimands.

Pros

Smart people. Good work life balance. Flexibility in terms of working

Cons

The company has the worst people managers. Progression purely based on analytical skills. Very Very Political, what differentiates performers from non performers is not performance ... but the ability to suck up... very unfair promotion / and hirring policies... Not open to feedback... feedback is looked down upon. The only skill the company has is analytical skills... no creativity... no innovation...

Pros

Great opportunity to make an impact, they give you a lot of responsibility and it's really sink or swim. For the right persion this is great.

Cons

Not fair in terms of career progression. Double standards and politicals play too large a role. It can be too competitive at times as well.
