Pros

Very friendly people to work with on an everyday basis in all departments. Managers tend to let you do your job and not micro manage. Can work from home full time.

Cons

Oasis and ERC were purchased in early 2023 and merged and the end of 2023 to form Astrion. Many people were laid off around Christmas due to the overlapping jobs from multiple companies. The new CEO seems to focus more on presentation than anything else. There's a new executive of this or that being hired weekly while the actually contract people and over head people lose their jobs. The CEOs history seems to be gutting companies, making them profitable through his vision, and then leaving for another company without much empathy for the employees. We did get the entire we care about you and you matter talk right away which ended up being farce but that's to be expected.

Not what it used to be

Pros

Starting salary strong at hiring

Cons

Cost cutting measures across the board. Sold FTO as a benefit when everyone knows it’s an accounting move and not have to set aside actual earned PTO ( as of Jan 1 all PTO was frozen and locked away until you leave the company at 2023 rates, getting mauled by inflation). In January it was announced the review cycle would go by calendar year, pushing some people’s merit/COLA/contract rate changes off up to a year ( I’m positive it won’t be adjusted for the additional wait). Don’t get sick on the health insurance here , probably go broke with the combo of high premiums and high deductibles.

Falsely offers FTO

Pros

This company pushes its FTO program as a major perk, but it’s nothing more than a marketing tactic. You’re expected to bill 1,880 hours, which makes true time off practically impossible. After you subtract mandatory meetings, admin work, and the reality of non‑billable tasks, you’re left with about 112 hours of actual usable time off for the entire year — far worse than a standard PTO plan. Even worse, the company penalizes you for using the tiny amount of time off you do have. Taking FTO is routinely held against employees during merit reviews, creating a culture where the “flexibility” they brag about is actually a trap. The message is clear: take time off and your raise disappears. If you’re considering joining, understand this upfront: the FTO program is not a benefit. It’s a way for the company to avoid tracking PTO while squeezing as many billable hours out of you as possible.

Cons

Local management is great to work with
