Pros

Great place to get away with doing nothing and work on your side projects while management argues among each other. This company services the government, so in a way the customer and work with the company as a team to prolong doing nothing as much as they can until retirement. Just look busy! If you tell a good enough story about yourself, you can get hired at a high salary position. Drop a few sharp words in meetings with some slick looking graphs, and you'll last about 1-2 years before getting cut, unless you've built up some friendships with the right people. If you're about to retire, but don't want to put in anymore effort, this is the place for you, just as long as you already have your retirement squared away. Offers a great opportunity to master the art of selling ice to polar bears. This can go a long way for your career if you're in it for the money. Long term; it's over all bad for business, but great for short term gains, (really short term gains) so have a fall back plan if you go this route. But if you've mastered it well, you can go for a while. If you love to drive buses, my god, you're going to have a fun blood bath. Get behind that wheel and drive baby, drive!! If you live your life with your head in the sand, this is the place for you. You'll not know what is going on, and not understand why you got fired, but it's all good because it was just a job for you.

Cons

For those who are looking for long term job security, now would not be the time to work at this company, as this is now owned by a venture capitalist company looking for short term gains. This company has been tossed around like a hot potatoe, and I'm sure there will be more of that. If you don't like seeing a lot of people get hit by buses this is not the place for you. If you have morals, not the place for you.

Pros

Excellent work environment. Great internship program with speakers and activities. Great Work atmosphere. Very approachable to ask questions to superiors and management and other coworkers. I enjoyed the work I did. I love the "open door policy" when it comes to reaching out. Coworkers are amazing to work with.

Cons

Wished that the position was more technical/relevant to CS major. The initial training can be rough. First few weeks can be very confusing. The scope of responsibilities is not very clear, and they need to be learned over time. Sometimes there are scheduling gaps that can cause issues. The documentation is often lacking/outdated which can be difficult for someone who is new and does not know all the niche procedures.
