Pros

Interesting work Ability to rotate programs and find work that fits you (YMMV) Flexible WFH policy Great people to work with Great direct management Good work life balance Retirement matching is amazing (5% employee -> 10% Draper)

Cons

CEO seems to want to be a big prime Culture is shifting from "doing interesting things yields great work" to "overhead is the devil" Pay is less than what you could get at other similar companies

Pros

Dynamic work environment with many opportunities to get experience in a variety of fields. Management is accommodating and respectful of employee time.

Cons

While Draper works on a wide variety of projects, I found I didn’t get much of a say in what I was working on. I was placed on projects that didn’t align with my stated preferences.
