Pros

Smart people in the company, decent pay. With the right management you can maintain a successful career.

Cons

Engineers are blamed for poor management. The atmosphere is very (unnecessarily) corporate, and feels driven by money and power over love for the craft. Shipping crap and shifting blame is the away to get ahead. Raises are below cost of living adjustments, unless you can jump positions. On the bright side, if you're in the cliquey inner circle, you can eat on the corporate card quite often.

Decent place to work if you just want to be a code monkey

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, great benefits, 401K, ESOP. Main office is in Reston right behind the last silver line stop. Good compensation.

Cons

A lot of your experience depends on your manager, clients, and team members. There are a lot of difficult clients and terrible projects and not much support if you're working with/on them. Near zero corporate communication. No upward mobility. Near to no mentoring or career growth. A lot of the time you feel like a hired gun. Lack of exposure to new technologies.

Pros

Fully remote even after covid

Cons

They make you fill out your benefit enrollment forms on your own time before you start, which is unethical. Do not accept a job offer unless the client interviews you. If you are given a contingent offer upon client approval and you have not interviewed with the client, do not accept it. AIS is beholden to their clients so they will let the client reneg on their no-interview acceptance. Then the client can boot you off the project after AIS gives them free reign to change their mind about interviewing you. If AIS doesn't have another project suitable for you, you will find yourself out of a job less than a month after you started. This is what happened to me.
