Vantaggi
Azure is a small defense contractor that specializes in extremely complex engineering solutions. The work environment is casual and friendly. The company provides amazing benefits to its employees. Its medical insurance is one of the best I've ever seen and lowest cost to employees - the company pays for a very large portion of it. PTO is generous, and the company pays out end-of-year bonuses more often than not. Engineers get opportunities they might not get at other companies, including opportunities to write SBIR proposals, manage small programs, and communicate directly with customers. There is fairly good flexibility in scheduling, and it's not uncommon to see a kid in the halls every once in a while so that parents can balance the needs of work and family.
Svantaggi
There's been a lack of leadership at Azure for a very long time (years). Recently, a pair of new investors have taken over, and they are getting more involved. It is clear they want what's best for the company, but change is slow, and - like many companies - communication isn't always as good as it could be.
