Pros

Executive leadership is for the most part is good and accessible. Positive change with new CEO for start of FY2016. Training and educational monies made available to staff are good but not the best in the market. Flex to work from home is good.

Cons

Poor benefits, 401k/retirement plan, poor work life balance boundaries. Don’t expect to be disconnected from the mother ship when you are on PTO. Core values with respects to people first feels more like DL & revenue first before you. If you are without a project, LOWs (Lack of Work letters) are sent out quickly. Minimal assistance from your team/direct leadership/resource management team with placing on you another project. Sad that they hire outside people and not help displaced staff be matrixed to new projects/work.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
