      Pros

      - Fun and interesting work - Great coworkers - Excellent benefits package (generous PTO, flexible in-person/hybrid/remote) - Hourly pay - Low stress projects, strong work-life-balance - Relatively flat management hierarchy

      Cons

      - Compensation is on the lower side - Mostly government/federally funded work. Not necessarily a con, but could be depending on your preferences

      Misleading message by the CEO

      R&d engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very helpful, well-intention people. Ready to invest in the well-being of their employees. Especially helpful towards first-generation immigrants.

      Cons

      If you were to believe the well-intentioned video message by the CEO you, would conclude that you're getting a job for life at Kitware. However, as the recent 11 layoffs with a 2-week notice period demonstrate, you are subject to the vagaries of the American job market just like any other company. However, you can't point this out in polite company.
