Pros

I enjoye working there as a contractor. The people were nice and the work was interesting.

Cons

A.E. is somewhat of an anachronistic company. They don't like it when employees to work from home using company laptops, even though interractive teams are worldwide. Corporate culture seems too caughgt up in the facade of "official outreach". Overall, though, I liked my managers and was sorry when I was caught up in the layoff typhoon. I would work there again.
