Pros

Benefits are good. Initial compensation is competitive.

Cons

No work life balance at all. None... trying to take vacation days is a major hassle. Poor service levels and constant cuts on production lead to huge customer service and sales issues. I routinely work 12-14 hours a day. In order to cut costs they have in the last year hired poorly qualified employees to support sales. They are in fact, terrible and lack experience which is a huge issue when relying on them for insights and analytics. Very focused on hiring younger workers...unless you are in the East there are limited opportunities to advance

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
