Triple Canopy Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Triple Canopy full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The work schedule is very flexible and the atmosphere is great! The Senior leadership has changed over the last few years but not drastically and the core principles/values have stayed consistent. Everyone is down to earth and really loves coming to work every day. I have worked for various government contractors in the area and none of them compare to the generosity and pleasant treatment Triple Canopy gives to their employees.

Cons – Single scope of work. The company currently is geared directly toward physical security in foreign countries, with the government reducing forces in these countries we have been forced to look at new opportunities which does'nt feel secure for long term job security.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to do a great job inspiring employees and don't change your down to earth personalities or atmosphere.
