Pros

They have a small onsite fitness center.

Cons

This company will work you to the bone and pressure you to not take vacation. I knew I had to leave when they had a problem with me taking a three day weekend to attend a FUNERAL. This continued to send me work emails that they expected me to respond to throughout that weekend. I couldn't stay with a company with such low morality.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
