Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Alion full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Benefits are really good and PTO was decent.
Cons
No work life balance , lack of appreciation and recognition for employees who are actually doing their job, no support from upper management, and no accountability for those that aren't doing their work due to outside personal relationships. Management picks who they want to promote and retain.
Advice to Management
Don't reprimand employees that are doing their jobs. Support and defend your employees. If you are technology company allow employees to telework to provide work life balance as long the work is being done. Consistent recognition for dealing with difficult customers goes a long way.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Alion full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Work environment is pleasant. Coworkers are friendly and knowledgeable.
Cons
Very lean company. Do not expect raises or bonuses. I worked there for nearly 5 years and never got more than a cost of living raise despite excellent performance reviews. No real opportunity for promotion. It was nothing more than a job, not a career.
Advice to Management
Pay your talent what they are worth if you want them to stick around.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Alion (More than 3 years)
Pros
There are none. Too many management people with no experience. Does not give raises or even acknowledge other areas that aren't DOD.
Cons
Management, pay rate, too consumed and worried about time cards. What idiot came up with the time keeping system here and it would be nice to actually get paid on or near a holiday.
Advice to Management
Before you hire some idiot to manage an environmental contract, make sure they have actual experience. My manager is about like the absent minded professor.
