Pros

Following acquisition, the parent company is competent and aligned with industry standards. Very diverse team. The products are interesting. Good pay.

Cons

- Culture is resistant to change, with some people feeling threatened by new ideas or different wants of doing things, even if it's to align with industry standards and best practices - unprofessional and degrading behavior is tolerated, especially towards minorities - Lack of infrastructure and reactive engineering environment. The engineering is under scoped, amateur, and the schedules are too condensed given the complexity it would take to execute the programs correctly. - Many of the growing pains listed in reviews over a decade ago are still prevalent in the organization. Despite growth, those pains have not been overcome or resolved.

Pros

Working with tons of smart people on the technical side

Cons

Growing pains of small company forming into larger company and merging with sister companies. Also, very unrealistic deadlines flown down so the contract could be won during bidding phase
