Pros

- Laid back - Professional - Work with quality people

Cons

- Must be a self starter

Pros

nothing, the first week you would figure out it is not the right place

Cons

One of the manager is very intimidating by not assigning work to employee, so the employee would not have a proper charge code to charge for money. The manager has poor technical skills and does not have good ideas about how much time the task he assigns would take. Once an employee reported to HR, end up being put in absent leave, finally sued the company. The company always can not get enough business they constantly...

Advice to Management

The company should really hire some decent managers with decent experiences, instead of just use some one with poor management skills and little experiences, just because they are much cheaper.

Pros

The flexible work hours are nice. It's a good place to gain experience fresh out of college but get out if you can find something else.

Cons

Shady when it comes to promotions and raises. Lower level employees don't have much opportunity to grow within the company.

Advice to Management

Employees are subjected to so much additional work not included in job description (especially when other members of the team leave) and we are not being compensated fairly. Advice to Management: If you want to retain good employees, treat them fairly.

Pros

Benefits and pay are somewhat higher in some fields.

Cons

More overtime if it’s available

Pros

There are many positions available all the time so no worry of layoffs. They need warm bodies like I said.

Cons

Very limited room for growth. Raises and bonuses are none or laughable. You are just a warm body they can sell to the government and make profit from. Expensive out of pocket health care expenses.

Pros

Flex time Objective oriented jobs No micromanaging Autonomy Work from home occasionally

Cons

Restricted development environment Communication strategies are still evolving.

Advice to Management

Weigh advice given by others not just by position their but also by experience, and subject knowledge.

Pros

Good place to start and get experience

Cons

High Turnover rate from longer term employees

Advice to Management

pay your people better; give raises.

Pros

Paycheck that shows up on an erratic schedule that reflects the financial struggles. Good starting point if you lack any experience and are willing to work on the cheap. Use the company while they use you then leave for any number of better companies.

Cons

AI focus...really? Corporate will not spend $$ on basic software and hardware needs. Yearly raised will range from 0 to 1% (Great if I lived in some 3rd world country). Managers are unqualified and occasionally unhinged with their temper tantrums. CEO and Senior Managers seem tethered to the DC area. Do they need permission from Veritas to engage with employees? Office furniture older than most of our employees and...

Advice to Management

It is disappointing when a division SVP sends out an email to his whole group threatening them to get their timecards submitted early even though his was not filled out and ultimately submitted on time. Thanks for the useless holiday trinket that really means nothing and ended up in the trash.
