If I were you, I wouldn't work here for all the tea in China.

Pros

Most people don't roll in to the office until after 10 a.m., so if you are a late riser, or just want to avoid some traffic, this is the place for you. The holiday party is quite nice.

Cons

This place is a cross between Groundhog's Day and the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. It is run by incompetent people with zero leadership skills. The success they've seen was all in the early days of the company and the best I can figure was due to the Government needing to check that 8(a) box. They lost their 8(a) status and now that they are going "full and open" with real competition, they are going to be slaughtered. They cycle through Business Development people like grains of spilled rice. They have no process to speak off, no technical infrastructure to help you accomplish your job, and no desire to provide tools such as computers from this century. Using a broken laptop from 1999 is a lot like using an abacus from the Ming dynasty. The so-called "management” has no business acumen or ability to add anything even remotely coherent for helping solve problems. Someone in an older review mentioned the place being dirty and that certainly has not changed. Also, someone else mentioned having their internet usage monitored—treat all of your communications as if they are being monitored by the Communist Party's Internet Affairs Bureau of the State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China. In fact, they actively read your emails. The turnover rate is very high and morale is very low. Lots of good folks have been fired for mostly imagined "wrongs." My advice to job seekers would be to keep looking. Stay away from this mess unless you are desperate or a masochist with a tolerance for Chinese water torture or because you couldn't get a job at some place like Ace Info.

Profit above all.

Pros

The various government missions they support are generally worthwhile and interesting. Many of the contractors are great people trying to do their best.

Cons

Management is a nightmare. Shifting policies, illegal practices, and they will do anything to make that extra dollar. Unpaid overtime? Expected. (But don't tell the Federal employees, since it isn't legal..) Hostile work environments? Par for the course. Job duties are always far beyond qualifications, as they hire cheap for specific, contract-defined jobs and then tell the government that anything is possible. Employees are punished for not performing far beyond their skill levels, with no support from the company.

Terrible Company

Pros

-Unique and varied work environment -Usually unsupervised work -Easy interview -Great coworkers & work culture

Cons

Oh boy where to begin... Compensation: -Salary is well below the average for this area -Raises are usually below the cost of living increase -"bonuses" are a joke, but the company likes to pretend they're doing you a massive favor Work roles: -They skew the compensation statistic by assigning you a title but in reality you will be doing other, what should be higher paying, jobs. Example: A front end developer may be tasked with doing back end dev or database development. -Expect your work responsibilities to change, even if you enjoy what you're doing. -Expect to have to fight for your role on a daily basis in order to not have to do the "grunt work" no one wants to do. Mid level managers will back off people with aggressive personalities (TERRIBLE management style). -Expect the mid level managers to not fight for employees, they only serve to make upper level management & customer happy. -Managers refuse to give out concrete roles and responsibilities. Policies: - Things like PTO policies and pay dates will change without formal notice. Very disrespectful to employees with families. They will do things like notify employees they will pay 5 days late a week before payday or notify you of a PTO change while you are on vacation.
