Pros: Good salary, working with some really smart people.

Cons: You may have a lot of pressure, and you may also work with someone that you may not want to work with.

Pros: My experience at Citadel was very positive. A great place to learn new skills and augment existing ones. I thought the opportunity to work with some of the latest technologies could only help employees stay current with their skill sets.

Cons: There is a degree of us vs. them attitude both internally and externally. A willingness to have a helpful attitude while present is overshadowed with many instances of not caring for the other party.

Pros: Comp is very good. Free food is decent.

Cons: No work-life balance (you would work 10-11 hours a day minimum). Constant jokes from peers (and management) of "do or be fired". Interests are very short-term. Failure is not an option. CYA culture everywhere. Zero planning. No transparency from above. Very poor communication when people come and go. One day you are sitting next to someone, the next day they are gone. No notice, no nothing – just like that.
