Pros

Exciting projects and very knowledgeable/helpful people Easy to get in contact with group leads Good work-life balance Good pay for a new grad Located near red line right across MIT

Cons

Upper management seems to disregard complaints. You can see really clearly from the rest of the reviews posted. A lot of the higher up positions with more responsibility have been frustrated with their treatment. This didn't really affect me as an MTS1, however. I was more bothered by the lack of free food and regulations regarding downloading software although these are par for the course when dealing with a government contractor.
