Interesting projects, low wages

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a big enterprise, you get the chance to work with big clients in important projects.

Cons

Wages are not that high and big clients tend to be too conservative, so chances are that you don't work with state of the art technology.

It's all been downhill...

Pros

The work isn't too difficult.

Cons

I have worked for this company for over 10 years. Ever since my original company (Stanley Associates Inc.) was acquired by CGI Federal, I have watched this company self destruct. Since the acquisition the following benefits have either been reduced or discontinued: - annual raise reduced (no longer keep up with inflation or cost of living) - vacation time reduced by 5 days per year - health club reimbursement discontinued - home computer reimbursement discontinued - complimentary refreshments discontinued - employee appreciation events vanished - etc., etc., etc... This company is all about the bottom dollar, the employees are now left with a seat somewhere in the back. One only has to look at the healthcare.gov debacle to really see where the priorities lie.

Worst company on the planet

Pros

I would say there are not any Pros.

Cons

You can't reach your folks. They don't respond to mail, voice messages. They won't live up to their words, despite you fulfill your commitment and demonstrate that over and over.
