Pros

-Have the ability to say yes or no to any project that comes your way -Managers fully respect your time outside of work -Lots of interesting work across many different domains

Cons

-Have to find your own projects to work on and if someone screws up on their budgeting, you'll take the hit -Typical cons of working with the government - terrible documentation and how-to's on critical trainings/processes/requirements -Everyone charges their time to the specific projects their working on so people don't love having casual conversations because thats technically on your personal time -Make a decent amount starting out but raises and promotions after that are minimal

Pros

- Exceptional flexibility to chart your own professional path, allowing you to focus heavily on technical delivery or pivot into management as you see fit. - A wide variety of projects across different domains, offering plenty of opportunities to dive into interesting and impactful work. - The day to day environment is elevated by genuinely friendly, intelligent, and collaborative coworkers.

Cons

- Recent significant reductions in force have taken a visible toll on the workforce, leaving many employees feeling jaded and worn down. - As the work program contracts, there is a growing tendency to simply do whatever sponsors request rather than providing the objective, independent guidance the company is known for. - The internal job market can be incredibly difficult to navigate. If you do not have a strong personal network within the company, finding billable work can feel almost impossible. - The cultural environment is not uniform. Your overall job satisfaction will vary dramatically depending on the specific division or group you land in.
