Pros
The two biggest reasons to work at Modus are most notably the competitive compensation packages provided and the flexible work/life balance. The company is still relatively small which allows an engineer to serve in multiple roles throughout the company if they have the initiative. The ability to "flex" your 80 hours across two weeks means less use of vacation time which is a huge incentive for me. Employees are also allowed one day a week where they can work from home. There is also a diverse set of projects which allows an individual to work on many different problems and learn a lot of technologies relatively quickly. There are a handful of good engineers and other employees that really make coming into the office worthwhile.
Cons
The office atmosphere is a little too relaxed for my taste but it certainly keeps morale high.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review for Modus Operandi. I hope that as we all work together that we can win the bigger contracts and I know BD is working on growing multiple relationships to expand our business.

Pros
Good salaries for the area. Nice office space in a great location. Relaxed work environment most of the time, but also very up and down due to the nature of the government contracting business.
Cons
Lack of direction and focus in the company. Lots of competing ideas and poor management of them to keep people focused and on-track. The MO at MO is to chase any government program with a check attached to it. If you are a forward-thinking go getter who wants to do really cutting edge work - this is not the place for you. This is for people who want to coast through their career and work on DoD-centric problems, that are often comprised of really bad ideas and outdated technology approaches. You also need a security clearance and must be a US citizen to work here - so that always limits the available talent pool.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I believe that we have had the opportunity to improve our performance over the last 18 months and management has adopted a new business model that should help them to better realize who represents our top talent. We are still completing SBIRs and recently won a big Metis contract at AFTAC.
