      Pros

      Good people to work with, both on the Government side and contractor side. Leadership is driven to grow company portfolio. Fair amount of opportunities for growth and skill advancement; consistently challenging and evolving environment. Employer pays for annual membership to Costco.

      Cons

      1-year waiting period to receive 401(k) match (3%) is a slight knock. Annual uncertainty when the advisory services contract is up for renewal; always a worry that another bid is selected for award and offers cut-rate salaries and benefits to existing employees. Not Dawson's fault, just the nature of the game.

      Pros

      The hiring process was quick. Management and HR are fantastic!

      Cons

      Working as a contractor, you never know when you might get canned. There was a lot of uncertainty amongst the contractors and anxiety around contract renewal time. Also, working with the feds when you don't have clearance is frustrating to say the least... but that has nothing to do with Dawson.

      Pros

      Opportunity for upward mobility if your work hard and your boss is good. Great work life balance--a monkey could do my job.

      Cons

      Opaque culture. Lots of employee turnover. Undereducated staff and management. Mediocre compensation. Lazy HR and IT dept. Run like the military not a private company. White people appropriating Hawaiian culture.
