An Ok place to work
Pros: Very technology focussed org. When you are networked you are good. Health benefits are top notch and work place benefits are excellent. Salary is decent
Cons: Too much middle management and bureaucracy to get things done. A lot of red tape and it is beginning to be an era of government agencies. If you are fresh out of school and did not make it to either Google or Amazon then this may be your last resort.  Not the Microsoft that it used to be. For those coming with Industry beware for getting the short end of the stick. Dont get fooled by the salary but you need to know your level when you get in and if you come in below a principal (assuming you had > 10 years of solid experience) you did not do well in your negotiation.
