Pros

Decent culture, friendly people. Senior managers have good relationships with clients in the government contracting industry.

Cons

Lack of upward mobility and low compensation compared to competitors. Generally there is a lot of down time, and people can be "unstaffed" for months. People make recommendations to management on the way out, and they do not listen. Employees have little to no say in staffing on project engagements and many projects are niche service offerings. Management does not know how to utilize technology to simplify and expedite processes.

Pros

Chess was great in assisting your career and really gaining an understanding of the work you do. It was a great environment to work in as everyone really helps when you are struggling but also pushes you to solve challenges on your own.

Cons

The range of work varies which is great but you can get caught up in the same type of projects. However, this really helps hone your skills and you become an expert in a specific field. I also wish there were more opportunities to fast track your career.
