      Pros

      Has a lot of good people working hard to make a difference.

      Cons

      Has a good ol' boys atmosphere. Basically if something does not work and your in the good ol' boy network the procedure is wrong, if you are not in the network you did not follow the procedure. Promotions and pay driven whether your manager likes you or not -- not performance. I have been on both sides of the spectrum.

      Pros

      Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

      Cons

      Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
