Its a Pass Through Shell

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It has a couple of contracts that bring in work, mostly a pass through for other companies.

Cons

Its a shell company for a government agency so they can pass contracts through for other companies. It has no real capabilities or capacity. Powertrain claims all the past performance to get more contracts. Pay is not good and the owners are very stingy with benefits too.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some excellent managers on the team Your peers are a great group of individuals You'll learn a lot of good skills that will help you get hired elsewhere

Cons

This company is built on nepotism and that definitely has its drawbacks (no one is going to fire their friend's kid, their best friend, etc). Overtime is often expected - people have pulled all nighters and, honestly, no job is worth that.

Business Outlook

Pros

Despite massive layoffs, there are a few decent people left there.

Cons

Leadership has no vision and is having a trouble transitioning from being a small business that was handed work by OPM and grew to fast, to surviving on its own now that the gravy train is over. Morale is very low due to the layoffs and the company outlook is very bad. Everybody is walking on egg shells. Many people have either retired, left or are consultants.
