Pros

Great culture Good to work along employees A lot to learn

Cons

No external customer facing job as WFC

Pros

Decent pay and benefits in line with the expectations of the job. Solid work-life balance. People who are enjoyable to work with for the most part. Cultivated company culture that is actually useful for working through issues and letting employees drive improvements to their work processes. More forward thinking than most crown corps.

Cons

Dealing with some legacy systems, though the tech stack is modernizing Not the most competitive for developer wages if you are willing to work harder to go somewhere else

Pros

- Great direct managers (YMMV). They truly care - Great benefits - Decent pay for tech industry. Above average for other federal crown corps I'd guess - Amazing culture (but keep reading to the cons) - The people are awesome and friendly - Best work life balance I've experienced so far

Cons

- It's not the best place to be if you're an advanced tech professional. The tech stack is still kind of old and the IT division quite disorganized. Leaders (senior and EMT) are not very knowledgeable about the world of technology in general so decisions made are not always in the best interest of the tech teams or the future of tech at the company - IT is very understaffed for what is expected of them. The current staff is very smart and capable, but too much is expected of them... see my first point about leadership not understanding technology - The culture is great, but sometimes it can feel cult ish and contrived. True feelings are often hidden by some to fit in to the "yes" culture. If you professionally disagree with a process or decision, it's often seen as being against the culture of "being all in". There are worse companies out there, but FCC is not as perfect as it's made to sound when you first join

Pros

Great people, great culture, fair compensation

Cons

Most employees still work in a hybrid model, so not completely remote-friendly
