Pros

Benefit package is great and salary is very competitive.

Cons

Supervisors abuse their authority. You feel like you are walked on instead of feeling like you belong on a team. If something goes wrong, it is your fault and the supervisor does not help you off your back. Work/life balance is a struggle. If you want to leave early one day, you are looked down upon.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
