Pros

Blackwater, now Xe, takes on some of the toughest jobs in the most in hospitable places in the world. The actual boots they put on the ground are of the highest quality in terms of operational proficiency.

Cons

The company is very poorly managed. It is run by military people, which results in poor communication, a serious lack of business expertise, they see no value in marketing, pr, or sales.

Pros

The only pro is that this place was close to my residence.

Cons

Management doesn't care about employees/contractors. It's all about the company/program and nothing else matters.
