Pros

Most of Draper is high-tech R&D so there's lots of opportunity for challenging and fascinating work. Retirement plan is unbelievable - they put in $2 for every $1 you put in. Smart people who are good to work with.

Cons

Very difficult to advance through technical ranks. Although Draper is broken up into many different groups all working on different technology, management seems to play favorites with some groups as compared to others.

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
