Pros
SCG is a smaller organization; therefore, you can truly make a tremendous impact on the organization with the work you do. Management is very receptive to new ideas. The employees you will work with at SCG are some of the best in the industry. 21 days of PTO is very generous and almost unheard of in the Finance/Accounting industry with many companies starting at just 15/16 days. You will also receive ALL federal holidays, there are no floating holidays, which is appreciated. The HQ office is in a very convenient location in McLean, VA. This makes commuting easier and parking optimal. You will not need to pay for parking at SCG and if you decide to utilize public transit, you will receive a monthly stipend. There is also a very nice gym at the HQ office and Metro is a quick walk, you can see the station from the office. If you are willing to get your hands dirty and work some overtime, it will pay dividends in the long run, especially if you are starting out in your career (1-3 years post undergrad). SCG is also still operating on a hybrid schedule with remote work options. The Director of Finance is also very flexible to your specific needs and will accommodate you the best they can. For example, I work on a flex schedule (7am - 4pm) and SCG has been very accommodating with that. The Finance and Accounting team is also comprised of very tenured industry professionals who have been nothing but a pleasure to work with.
Cons
The main con would be the work life balance. I began my career at SCG in my early 20's and had no issue working past 5pm. This falls on myself, however, as management never told me I had to stay online, it was a personal choice. The work will always be there, but that was the main stressor. Being in Finance, the work is always there and you will constantly be required to support many projects with very different needs. The Director of Finance does value your personal time and wants to limit hours to 40-43/week which is very reasonable. Turnover was mentioned in other post, but turnover is a nationwide issue, not just solely an SCG issue. While work life balance is a concern, I was still able to complete my MBA program during the evenings while working full time at SCG. If you communicate effectively with management (Director of Finance), they will do everything they can to accommodate you.
