Pros

The location is nice. You meet a lot of nice people.

Cons

They hire professionals, but their primary desire is for individuals who can simply follow orders. There's little room for self-starters or creative thinking. They frequently embrace trendy buzzwords without achieving substantial results, often getting caught up in the cycle of buzzword adoption. Their approach lags far behind industry best practices, and they should consider incorporating more commercial wisdom. Innovation is stifled here, leading to a high turnover rate. The workforce primarily consists of baby boomers, the silent generation, and military veterans who adhere strictly to a command-and-obey, 7-to-3 desk job routine. Their struggle to attract and retain talent is exacerbated by the unnecessary obstacles imposed on salaried professionals. They routinely assign technical job titles to positions devoid of true technical functions and overly prioritize technical roles in an environment where everyone should possess technical skills. Their hiring practices still cling to military principles, leading to placements of unqualified individuals due to demographic imbalances or cultural pressures.
