Pros

Principal has a great work environment with great people working in it. And the renovated office spaces are very conducive for collaboration.

Cons

The atmosphere can change from department to department. I had a very open and collaborative team, but I know not all teams are that way. They are also a little slow in adopting agile.

Department manager should share same feelings about flex time and wellness time as the company culture offers.

Pros

Very laid back work environment. I had almost no supervision as an intern which nice but they also did not give the interns enough work for the summer so there is a lot of free time.

Cons

They did not give enough work throughout the summer so it got pretty boring. It is also pretty uncompetitive.
