Pros

Note: this is regarding an experience with an acquired company of CFed's, who still act as their own kingdom not necessarily CFed themselves. Aside from interviewing and being hired for a particular role and doing a great job at it and then being told that they require a different skillset a few months later on top of delivering a broken system after 2+ years of work to a high profile military client, they are not a bad company for whom to work :). They are in a very crowded space (fed gov consulting) and try their best. They also do their best to maintain decency internally when their gut instincts tell them not to. CFed themselves did get these right: - IT Helpdesk: the best in the business! - Onboarding - Benefit Communications - Technology and Security related messaging - Compliance Training

Pros

Stable pay and generally predictable hours. I enjoyed the projects I worked on and the teams I worked with.

Cons

Company culture felt stagnant and indifferent. HR and Help Desk were not responsive and the company website out of date. My supervisors were usually helpful when I ran into an issue dealing with HR or Help Desk. I received no bonus or merit pay increase. I had to renegotiate my pay after they pulled me back in from being laid off.
