Pros

-Flexible 980 work schedule was great for having every other Friday off. -Lots of knowledge sharing between individuals. -Structured Assessment process, though it got tedious every year because it took so much time. -Nice relocation package if you ever have to move across the country for an internal position within the company after you've been there awhile. -Plenty of vacation time, better than any other employer I've ever worked for.

Cons

-Lower salary than market. -Hard to get a promotion unless you changed projects. -Management did not help you find a project after your current project ended. If they did help, it was often far too late. -Sometimes had to work weekends or late evenings due to a compressed project schedule. -Often had dinner or lunch served to me on late evenings or weekends, which was nice but showed that the project schedule wasn't planned properly. -Job opportunities relied on what clearance level you have. If you don't have it, you can't even apply unless they are willing to upgrade you. -Relocation package for new hires isn't that great. -Health insurance was very expensive.

Pros

I like it here because the management does not micro manage its employees. There is a lot of flexibility on work schedules as long as you are putting 8 hrs a day. They also allow teleworking on selected days.

Cons

No Bonus sharing program for employees, No Stock Options. Too much unnecessary training per year. Multiple user accounts for different sites.

Pros

Variety of programs, tools, and domains. A lot of affinity groups and friendly peers. Great for developing skills and interests.

Cons

Weak pay. Excessive management and "leadership" positions. Poor communication between functional managers. Poor tool and process adoption and implementation. Unpaid overtime work somewhat mandatory.
