Pros

Mission driven, patient focused, and tech aware provides learning opportunities for engineers. Balanced approach to diversity and inclusion without alienating other minorities or demographics.

Cons

Hyper focus on schedule commitments in the new ratings system, while still funding inadequately to meet those dictated schedule. Overwork and burnout are common throughout the company.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
