Pros

Free coffee, clean bathrooms, plenty of parking

Cons

I was a Scitor employee and was not concerned about the acquisition a few years ago. There's always a few things that change but the little chippy cuts in every little aspect have continued on 2+ years after the acquisition. I am astonished how they can crap on us and then ask us to recruit our friends into the company. The retention rate really sucks. We were told health insurance will go up slightly next year just a few percent, my plan doubled. It takes six months for purchasing to make an order and then it gets delivered to the wrong place. In order to do my job, I need some software, the 1 year license will run out before it's installed. I had hoped that some of the incompetent upper management would get cleared out but the opposite has happened. The good managers, popular and unpopular, have left and the bad ones have hung on and become "yes men" enforcers. We have become a company of employees that are trying to hang on a few more years to retirement and a bunch of kids that don't know how to do their jobs but work cheap and get billed out for lots of money.
