Pros

Work/Life Balance is great. If you need to have a special schedule or time off this company is great. Great company to start a career at. Upper management at director level and above is very open to new ideas and programs. Company is supportive of employees continuing education with graduate work.

Cons

Career development is non-existent by management. Ability to transfer to another departments is also non existent. Middle management is more of an hinderance than a help. Pay scale is typical of any defense company. Promotions might take a while depending on department and manager. Work is not challenging. Company is not supportive of lateral career moves.

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
