Pros

Good managers and people that care

Cons

Years of mismanagement has put the company in a position where their business operations just aren't making enough money. All the great benefits are dwindling down without and enhancing their competitive stance in the marketplace.

Pros

Great community of workers. The staff form a strong collaborative network.

Cons

Danger of stagnation in job classification. One must be diligent in self-promotion or risk going unrecognized. Pressure on staff to meet sometimes unrealistic on-project billability goals.

Pros

The people who work here are passionate and committed to what they do. In past years flexible hours were supported.

Cons

Currently in a downsize mode and have been so for years. Benefits have been cut and the cost to employees have increased over the past several years. Sick time was rolled into PTO, and they took away our coffee. Upper level staff is expected to sell and bring in money into the company, including those that are not trained nor interested in doing so. Expect employees to be at least 80% on project, but not enough project work is provided in order to accomplish that goal. Morale is low overall and for many staff much time is spent working on proposals for government contract work rather than working on actual projects. It is not for profit but run like a for profit company,
