      Good to get on your resume but get out when you can.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Get to play with lots of cool cutting edge technology. Great place to learn. Great benefits and a boat load of vacation.

      Cons

      Rampant cronyism. Being good at your job does not get you promoted. Small bureau in DC so promotions are few and far between. Promotions are dangled to get you to perform but then promises broken. High turn over due to exactly these things. Just went through massive layoffs where valued people were let go somewhat arbitrarily.

      Pros

      Working for a global brand. Fast-paced Environment. Cool projects.

      Cons

      Lack of interest in management for developing talent. Hostile environment if you are not a part of the "circle". Lack of appreciation for diversity across the board. Lack of respect for work-life balance outside of mothers. HR department does not work in favor of the employee.
