Pros

Competitive pay, excellent work-life balance, and great benefits (education and 401K).

Cons

Status updates and progress tracking are treated as real work instead of overhead.

Long-duration projects with very slow progress and constant schedule slips.

Don't work here as an engineer if you want to do exciting technical work. Your job will be spreadsheets, and you'll like it.

Advice to Management

Find some way to feel useful that doesn't involve sabotaging the people that do actual work.

Create realistic schedules, not ones that fit into your boss' warped view of reality.
