Pros

Amazing experienced technical staff, Draper did the GNC for the moon landing and All the navy ICBMs. They know what they are doing with GNC and also have great experience in micro electronics (accelerometers). Major work in Defense and Aerospace, Special Ops, Healthcare, Great benefits: they put in $2 for every $1 you put in. "Family First" when it comes to work life balance. If you have a problem or need to rearrange schedule to accommodate family needs, they will work with you.

Cons

sometimes have difficulty knowing what others are working on. consistently get minor raises, but hard to get a big raise/promotion unless you join the management path.

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
