Pros

The team is made up of strong engineers, and the benefits are solid. Depending on the project, the work can be both challenging and a good opportunity to grow your skills.

Cons

Medium career progression. Career progression there tends to rely heavily on internal networks and visibility. Low job security. A large portion of the work depends on government projects, and with many govt projects being paused or canceled, it’s created some uncertainty.
