Ventajas
I've had the opportunity to individually contribute on multiple full-lifecycle projects, and develop my leadership skills by becoming a Project Lead. We've had historically low turnover because of the "People First" mindset. We hire only "A" players, ones with the right attitude and technical chops. PSW has a solid emphasis on high employee satisfaction - by way of well-structured Performance Reviews, transparency from Management on down, team managers who use employees strengths in finding the right role on each project, and work flexibility (9/80 program, working from home when necessary), to name a few. What motivates me to head into work each morning? The trust, flexibility, and feeling valued.
Desventajas
Work can be dull at times, but that's engineering on legacy programs. Personal growth can stall. It's up to me to find ways to keep motivated, through side projects (scripts, initiatives).
