Pros

Employees at Carney are talented, dedicated individuals willing to self start and excel in their work. Management does not allow for them to work as adults, only minions.

Cons

Employees have no faith in management or incentive to work hard. Too many employees who have given long hours and countless contributions have been shown the door or left on their own from under utilization. No trust in HR. HR has no knowledge of confidentiality rules when employees come with concerns. HR has open door with other director and shares all.

We did unfortunately have to reduce in size in the Fall of 2013 and we have been conservative in hiring in an attempt to avoid reductions in the future. There were wonderful people let go, all of whom made valuable contributions, and we truly hated letting them go and also losing others. Before the reduction, we worked very hard to keep people employed, many of them for over six months during which time they had no client (billable) work to do – this is something almost no other company does. This under utilization was not intentional, but an attempt to keep people employed while we exhausted all efforts to find work. Without doubt, HR has maintained confidence in accordance with any and all legal, ethical, or moral standards. When there are concerns, and with the employee's consent, HR does investigate and/or address issues. When the employee does not want the issue resolved or does not want an investigation, then that information goes nowhere. Even this employee can point out specific examples where employees had a complaint and HR was part of the successful resolution of the issue – all while maintaining complete confidentiality. However, it appears that for this employee we did not meet their expectations and I publicly apologize for that and commit to working very hard to earn this employee's, and all employees', trust and faith. We are not perfect, but we do aim to be an incredible employer. I hope that one day this employee is comfortable enough to bring this matter forward so we can actually resolve the issue. It is impossible to determine where we fell short without direct, constructive feedback. Until then, I recognize we have work to do and we will make working at Carney a valuable experience.

Pros

I was at Carney for a while, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best places I’ve worked. The leadership team genuinely cares about employees, and there’s a real sense of collaboration here. The culture is supportive, and work-life balance is respected. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, but without micromanagement. If you’re self-motivated and enjoy working on interesting projects with smart, driven people, this is the place to be. Like any company, there are challenges, but leadership is always open to feedback and actively works to make things better. Overall, a great company with great people!

Cons

Not necessarily cons for Carney, but they are a federal contractor which means we have to deal with federal people who sometimes are difficult. My work was remote which I like, but means I only got to see people on Teams or when there are socials every few months. As a small company, they don't have as many formal processes that I was used to from larger organizations.

Pros

Flexibile work schedule, no micromanagement and you are encouraged to do your job, some remote opportunities, good healthcare plan options, internal company leave donation program.

Cons

Limited opportunity for upward mobility or growth, a slow-growing PTO system when first starting with the company, with no room to negotiate.
