Pros
I have been here for over 1 year. During this year, I can see the Management is putting in a lot of effort in making SRA a better place to be. In general, I see people are more positive (in their work, the campus, management, etc) toward SRA than a year ago. Management - the management is open to feedback and is constantly looking for ways to improve the employees' experience. People - great and smart...

I think there is always something SRA can improve on, but nothing major at this point that I want to highlight here.
Advice to Management
Don't ever stop listening to the employees. Keep up the good work!
