      Pros

      Great benefits, low stress work environment (other than job security being an issue), work/life balance is great, friendly coworkers, competitive salaries, fair raises (depends on your specific manager, of course).

      Cons

      Little room for upward mobility, complacency, short sighted decision making, poor morale, poor job security.

      Awesome company if you're either hired into management or a retired military officer.

      Pros

      Many fellow employees are extremely competent and knowledgeable, offering much information to be used either to advance at CTC, or to use on your resume to move onto the bigger and better (as I did). Almost all employees are offered a chance to be involved in all aspects of the business and technical planning, developing, etc; therefore, the employee often feels as though they are important and that their views are considered. The benefits include several different options, so an individual may choose the package that is right for him/her. The company has an awesome reputation with the federal government, with which it holds most of its contract vehicles. Employees are assured that their employment is not based on the contract, and that an ending contract does not indicate the end of employment. Many positions are able to be worked from any location with a CTC computer and internet connection, so telecommuting is an option for most, as is flexible working hours.

      Cons

      Many individuals in management are not as knowledgeable and competent as their subordinates. One particular manager had a nasty attitude and spoke to individuals as though they were the idiots. He spoke as though he was all-knowing, yet could barely type a program-wide memo without misspelled words and incorrect verb usages. Because the work environment is so fast-paced and the end result requires a multitude of individuals' input, individual performance is often overlooked, and praise is not given where it is due. Also due to the fact that end results are often a collective effort, not-so-honest and incompetent employees often seem to take credit for things to which they did not contribute. Women are paid less than men, military veterans more than civilians, and middle-aged and older adults more than younger adults. Since it is a non-profit company, the salaries are often lower than what a person would make elsewhere. While the benifits are good, be prepared to pay significantly for them. My current position offers medical insurance equally good as CTC's, but at a third of the cost.

      Pros

      I'm able to work with some of the newest technologies on the market. If I'm dissatisfied with a project, I'm able to switch to a different project (with some effort). The workforce is on the young side (which can be both good and bad). If one is working with a good team and an efficient manager it's possible to have a lot of fun, have a lot of creative satisfaction, and still be able to manage a 40-hour work week. Johnstown has a very low cost of living and is close to nature, State College, Pittsburgh, and DC.

      Cons

      Management is frequently ex-military, and as such do not understand technology very well. It appears to be difficult to get promoted without a military background. There are too many layers of middle management, and it's difficult to understand what those managers do. There's too much focus on process and not enough on pragmatism. Gray cubicles are so nineteen eighty.
