Pros

I actually worked for Lawrence Livermore National Lab but Akima handled the contract. My supervisor at LLNL was the one who supported me. If Akima handles your contract, you may similarly have to work with your work supervisor for job reclassification, new salary, etc.

Cons

When it came to HR, benefits, etc. I found Akima to be subpar. If I called with a question, no one followed up. When I called back, I got different answers before being referred to another person. Considering this is their main function, this says a lot. It may be a different story at other sites and even in other states.

Pros

Opportunity to be a part of a dynamic work environment and get an in depth understanding for operational processes if you are from a logistics background. Unique problem set that enhances logistics knowledge and capabilities and can prepare you for the next position.

Cons

Not a lot of company interaction/direction/ team building support while embedded with customer. Once hired, may not hear from company unless there is an adverse action against you. Continuance of contract support to customer unclear at times.
