Pros

Good position to get your feet wet as a software engineer. Original position was targeted as a Machine Learning Engineering/Software Engineering role, but position turned out to be Solutions Engineering. Had some flexibility to focus on the machine learning/data side of solutions engineering, but the position is still mostly focused on solutions engineering as a whole. Benefits are good though.

Cons

Compensation is less than similar positions. Limited upward mobility (mostly a subcontractor), and a lot of people leave after 1-2 years.

Pros

CATHEXIS genuinely cares about its employees and customers, and it shows. Even during a challenging period for the government contracting industry, leadership has continued to invest in the company and its people rather than pull back. That kind of commitment to growth and innovation when things get tough says a lot about the culture and the direction leadership wants to take the company.

Cons

The current government climate has made the industry difficult to navigate, and like many companies in this space, that has meant a fair amount of pivoting and rapid change. At times the speed of those changes has outpaced internal communication, which can leave employees feeling like they're catching up. Not a dealbreaker, but an area with room to grow.
