      Transformation for the worse

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are great although a little extreme eg visiting hair salon.

      Cons

      The recent transformation effort was poorly thought through in order to rush it to completion. As a result we lost some of our truly great leaders, gained a raft of new mid ranking managers lacking vision and leadership capability, and now have an organization that feels incomplete, disjointed and directionless.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to telework, benefits and aesthetics of company space in Gaithersburg

      Cons

      Only 10% of workers get promoted per year and the rest of the qualified people already working at the next level get put on a waiting list for next year. Each manager only gets to put a certain number of people up, so in a year when more of their direct reports are ready, they have to choose the "top" performers. People work in silos and there's a lot of waste in the company, change can't be implemented with managers who want to keep the status quo. Not much opportunities for growth. No trust or faith among group members. No transparency in leadership operations. No leadership.

      Terrible work environment, cut throat and uninspiring.

      Pros

      The job provides a steady paycheck.

      Cons

      Tedious repetitive processes that are constantly changing and re-organization. . Chronic understaffing and high turnover. Nothing done to retain employees. Benefits continually being cut.
