Pros

strong compensation package with generous benefits minimal bureaucracy you will be left alone if your contract is well funded and your Program Manager is well respected.

Cons

Since this is a small company, the character and reputation of the Program Managers will impact the future opportunities of their direct reports. When a Program Manager has a negative relationship with the customer, contracts disappear. Unfortunately, this has become the new standard.

Pros

Lots of good employees work here Competitive salary

Cons

Leadership methods stuck in the 90s, refuse to adapt even though they are not working, nobody can handle stress without flipping out and yelling at people. No longer a "destination company." Cannot trust leadership. Downward trending Work/Life balance.
