Pros

Competitive, flexible positions, involvement in lots of projects, still a relatively small company so upward mobility is promising as they expand and acquire more contracts

Cons

Management seems to be more "hands-off." I don't mind this since teamwork is so prevalent here, though some may want more guidance.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
