Pros

There are lots of interesting projects to work on, and the company was fairly quick for their onboarding process compared to another defense contractor I worked at. Having a very responsive IT staff has been really helpful, they will respond usually within a day - or immediately if you walk to their office with a quick request. Compensation is competitive for a defense contractor. There are lots of small office perks, and employee-created groups keeps the workplace fun while getting to know others.

Cons

Nothing major at this current time, however the rapid expansion last year has resulted in some new hires not having a dedicated office. Many offices are shared with 2-3 to a room, which I actually enjoy. Some processes may be slow, but its not because of STR specifically but the general nature of working at a defense contractor.

Pros

- Great Compensation - Highly knowledgeable and engaged coworkers - Very engaging and interesting work: just not enough time in a day to get it all done. - Great office amenities

Cons

- Really poor work life balance; this job is likely your coworker's entire life - Unreasonable expectations; the company is very much still in its infancy and looking to expand, though they haven't quite figured out what it looks like to deploy physical systems responsibly to external customers - Don't expect any leniency when it comes to learning the team or the field: stay engaged, and stay vocal of what you're doing and when. - Not the kind of team where employees can take a task and work separately before returning with results - they're looking for constant engagement and daily collaboration even if it isn't necessary.
