Pros

Nice people to work with. Great Neighborhood. People in Southern New Jersey are kind of anti social though.

Cons

The stack and rack ranking system we copied from Microsoft is cancerous and must go. There is a sense that improving your ability as an engineer is the long hard road towards promotion and accounting work such as Earn Value for CAMS are the easier way to gain recognition and advancement. It feels at times that our products are not designed by engineers but by accountants. At the end of the day, I would say filling out my time and figuring out all the cost accounts to properly charge is more difficult and stressful then my actual engineering tasks.

Pros

Flexible work environment. Good benefits.Like to see more options to chose healthcare.

Cons

Buddy system. If the PMOs do not like you if give it straight they will gang up on you to eventually get rid of you. Lots of nepotism. People who talk the talk but can not walk the walk running proposals and losing badly. Forced to take LM medical insurance which is more expensive and express scripts prescription are the worst.
