Pros

when your group wins work, you're busy and billable, and there are opportunities to learn

Cons

poor collegiality between staff overly secretive even when the work does not require it company is very silo-ed, intracompany work impossible or very hard to do management has zero sense of loyalty to staff all overhead generated from years of being >75% billable meant nothing when we lost our contract i was given zero time to look for new work and company recruiters (emailed every single one of them, not one replied) were 100% useless i was kept on staff but received no pay when we lost our contract (ultimately, i left the company)

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
