Pros

Nice new building in Seattle but they're moving from the top floor to the bottom floor in the new building. Casual dress code.

Cons

Essentially, bad management. I work primarily with Microsoft and Nike. In addition to low pay, PAE expects you to work way beyond a 50-hour work week. Very cutthroat environment. Other reviews about HR being not present are true too.

Pros

My Co workers make it bearable to work there.

Cons

Not a family oriented company. They don't care if you work 60 plus hours unless you are hourly then it's " no overtime". Cram it all in 8 hours. Antiquated computer systems. Poor company communications. Totally disorganized Human resources.
