Pros

Some teammates were incredibly intelligent and a pleasure to be around Pay was adequate Flexible schedule for remote workers

Cons

Hired and laid off with no severance within 6 months due to "an unexpected loss of several contracts" Spent most of my time working on a small project that quickly fell through Health Insurance plan is laughable with an HRA/FSA with unbelievable amounts of bureaucracy. The CEO was described as "Not a people person" and did not know how to handle notable staff leaving the company

Pros

It is fully WFH, so there's that

Cons

As other reviews have stated, the company appears to be at a crossroads and is not handling it well. Where to start? The company has no budget, so the moment government funding gets slashed, they have to let people go. Management does a lot of double speak (again, as previously mentioned) like "go slow to go fast" or the title of Career Manager (that's just a manager). Most concerning, the creators of the star product do not know how it works, described how it works incorrectly several times, and did not accept guidance on how it worked. And I know that because I actually looked at the code. The product itself seems like middleware at best. It is meant to be an AI project skeleton, but the example programs the company has to show it off are all things that can be done in a single bash command line. Picture spinning up several kubernetes clusters just to run "convert --append ...". Now picture those clusters not even working. That's the product. Several people in upper management are siblings, which is a huge red flag at any company. My current theory is that this company is a way for their parent company, Booz Allen, to deliver faulty products to the government in a way where if they're found out, they can cut ties and pretend they didn't know. Really would not recommend working here. If you're smart enough to work here, you're smart enough to work some place better.
