Pros

Awesome projects to work on. a.i. solutions does flight dynamics work for NASA Goddard, a great place to start a career in flight dynamics. They are flexible with moving people around on projects to get the experience you are looking for to start a career. Hours are extremely flexible and you can wear jeans and a t-shirt to work.

Cons

This company is on a gradual downhill slope. It used to be a small company with a great atmosphere which made up for the bellow market pay. However, every year the benefits and atmosphere have been slowly chipped away. You are expected to use your own time above the 40 hours they have committed you to NASA to do business development. Compensation is consistently below market. They have no program for bringing this up so make sure you get your money on the way in the door. There is no structure for promotion. You are either one of the large group of workers or you are the manager in charge of 17-20 of those workers. The company has their core values "Customer-Team-Company-Self", keep that in mind because they put you last on paper so do you really expect them to treat you well at every review. They cut prices for their customer, make sure the team is overworked to meet the customers demands at the lower price, then make you develop things for the company on your own time, then maybe, just maybe, you will get a little bit of self to work on and a pat on the back.

Pros

ais has a great recruiting and onboarding process. The recruiter is very responsive and helpful even through the probationary period, regularly checking in and always available. Onboarding was a breeze with management providing first day overviews and introductions to customers. New employees feel very valued and supported. There is regular contact with employees by first and second level managers and questions and feedback are encouraged. Very much an open door culture. The position is as presented during the interview process.

Cons

None since start of employment
