Pros

They hire the best. My coworkers were top-notch and I miss working with them. Though they are a government contractor, you are hired as an employee and not to a specific contract. That means if the contract goes away you aren't necessarily out of a job and they do their best to keep their people. Some senior and middle management were great.

Cons

The lack of breadth and depth of the contracts they had combined with government cuts meant that even though they tried to keep people employed, they were facing the hard task of letting people go. They were working to rectify this and I believe they'll get it balanced. I didn't see much in the way of opportunities for career advancement. Some senior and middle management weren't so great.

Pros

Good employee support/training opportunities. Carney lets you present creative ideas and then examine whether they'll fit in the project's budget.

Cons

It used to be that you wished management would bring you to the table. There's been a complete turnaround in the last year --- management actually seeks out your opinions.

Pros

There are very talented people that work here and that truly care about making Carney successful. Through the reorganization there is more openness and transparency into all facets of this company so each and every employee can see were there were successes and then also areas where improvement was needed. Feedback was encouraged and welcomed. They let you express your career goals and helped put you on a path to achieve those goals even if you meant not with Carney.

Cons

The benefits aren't amazing but they are good and better than previous companies I have worked for (but the parking benefit is a great bonus).
