Pros

Work life balance and challenging work assignments. I have been able to ask for challenging assignments and given them. I feel very in control of managing my career. I have the flexibility to get my work done outside of "normal" work hours which has been very effective. Being results driven instead of focusing on time in the office has allowed me to excel in what I do as a professional and as a working parent.

Cons

It's in the middle of Golden Valley. I wish there were more choices near by for restaurants & shopping. YOu don't really have to leave the building with everything that is in there, however sometimes you get a little itchy and want a break.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
