Pros

Nice people to work with day to day

Cons

Horrible management of a DC based company scattered between England and Denver. No long term planning but bad short term planning. Skilled and needed employees being outsourced. The company looks to have entered the classic death spiral of management failure, layoffs then more failure due to layoffs leading to more layoffs.

Pros

Relatively good salary and benefits. Many talented and hard working individuals doing their best.

Cons

Annual layoffs due to poor management and lack of a strategy they can stick to. Many in senior management have surrounded themselves with their friends leading to a lack of diversity in skills and thought. The majority of the quality long term employees have left, are leaving, or are planning to leave. Year after year, less and less gets accomplished.
