Pros

Looks good on a resume. So far, there has been opportunity for growth and advancement. Structured pay ranges level the playing field and add to the fairness factor. Work environment is conducive to collaboration and fellow staffers are very friendly. Time off allowances are good if exempt, standard for the hourly. Benefits are affordable with a variety of options.

Cons

Some talking heads, honesty and availability of information from management. Secret project code names can get in the way, and become distracting to getting the job done. Benifits could be better, some that are offered are never used. It would be nice to see the resources redirected a little to offer superior health coverage.
