Pros

Most departments have incredibly flexible work options. This is a small company, so if you're passionate about an idea, you can (and are encouraged to) walk right into the CEO's office and discuss it.

Cons

A common frustration is the lack of fast progress on modernizing the product. It's a small company, so one might assume that's why, but I've since worked at massively larger enterprise companies with the exact same problem. When one major client pays the bills, the reality is that most of your man hours have to go to what's important to that company. One of the biggest negatives I would point out is the lack of a career path, and the lack of any formalized review and development process. In a way, you can turn this around to a positive; you need to be proactive and take your fate into your own hands as far as raises and new job opportunities, and that's actually an invaluable life skill. But that lack of structure can be very off-putting, especially for people who are just entering the working world. TL has a lot of those, and I suspect most of the negative reviews here are from people who just entered the workforce from college, without any other companies to compare it to. I can tell you from having worked at a variety of jobs, TL doesn't deserve its current rating. There are absolutely some things I would change if I went back there, but the fact remains that I WOULD consider going back there someday.

Pros

Great for entry level in the QA space. Great Department managers and co-workers

Cons

Do not expect any fast growth from within. Upper Management outside of the QA/Engineering department is incredibly poor. They have shown no interest in growing outside of the government sector. They also have made very poor choices when pursuing development projects that ultimately lead to no customers buying said product due to lack of market research. Due to these issues the people that ultimately pay for these mistakes are employees via layoffs.
