A good place to start but a terrible place to stay

Pros

Good people, a good chance to learn and prepare, I got a chance to work with both the best and worst managers of my career there. It was a tremendous learning experience. They allowed for some flexibility in scheduling which was helpful in making work and life balance.

Cons

Directionless, casting about between programs and management styles while never giving any of them a chance to succeed. Management is political to say the least. If you're not part of the in group just learn what you can and move on.

The management has always been supportive of learning new things and pushing people to try new things.

Cons

The worst part is when big projects get cancelled and people get laid off. This company does take a lot of risks which lead to lots of good things, but when things don't work out, close friends often get let go or leave to other companies. If you do decide to work here, think twice before leaving because they don't really like it when you do that ha...
