Pros

Great benefits package and generally strong work-life balance depending on project assignment. Opportunities to work on complex enterprise systems with talented engineers and exposure to large-scale government contracting environments.

Cons

Management consistency varies, with some instances of favoritism and high ego-driven leadership styles impacting team dynamics. Compensation does not always align with job titles and responsibilities, leading to a feeling of being underpaid relative to market expectations. There have also been unmet or delayed commitments around education reimbursement and professional development support.
