Pros

The salaries are good, the benifits are very good, it's only15 mins from home, and I like what I do. It's the type of place that new hires come in feeling very lucky to have been hired. However, within 3-6 months they're wondering how long they must stay without looking like a leapster.

Cons

Very little communication, constant worryies of lay offs, totally incompentent management, no opportunities, no growth. I'm speaking in terms of the Ga office. I hear the same from employees in Az & Maryland. Corp is in Carlsbad and we're given the impression that they're all very happy there, no complaints. However, there seems to be a lot of turnover. There are also a lot of people there who say they wish the economy was better & they could leave.

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.

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
