      Pros

      This is a great company to work for if you're looking to do a 9 to 5 with minimal stress.

      Cons

      There's not a lot of room for real career growth and the compensation is pretty bad.

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fun and interesting work - Great coworkers - Excellent benefits package (generous PTO, flexible in-person/hybrid/remote) - Hourly pay - Low stress projects, strong work-life-balance - Relatively flat management hierarchy

      Cons

      - Compensation is on the lower side - Mostly government/federally funded work. Not necessarily a con, but could be depending on your preferences
