Pros

Nice Facility. Free Coffee. Cultures vary from building to building, but people are generally nice.

Cons

Indecisive management providing conflicting direction from day to day. Experienced at the front end of a program, marketing, but not at what's required for sell-off. Rude to customers. Constantly changing priorities prevent completion of tasks in a timely and cost effective manner.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
