Pros

Relaxed work environment, flexibility with schedule, ability to work independently, and location in Liberty Station are all great pros. For the most part, everyone is friendly and approachable to work with. There are quarterly company-sponsored events/parties that break up the year and make things pretty fun, like holiday parties, a golf tournament we all volunteer at, and an internal "convention." The work is usually pretty steady, and because everyone is hired based on values & personality, it's easy to make friends and enjoy your coworkers'. I like coming to work every day, which is something to be said, once you read the Cons section. Half day Fridays and the overall trust in employees makes this a great place to work.

Cons

Slowly, the inner workings of this company are becoming worse and outweighing the pros. While most people are great, it still takes a long time for management to admit when there are employees who are weighing down the company and killing the culture. There is still favoritism by management towards departments as a whole, even though most of us were hired with the same starting (i.e. lack) of skill set. Most people work hard and outside of standard work hours, but only the favorites get recognition, and again, favoritism is highly placed on specific departments. Even though management seems to be trying to be open and shake things up, it seems like there is a standstill in mindset. Pay can also be pretty dismal, at least for some departments.
