Pros

They really need an employment status option that says "current employee willing to jump ship at the first shinny that passes by and doesn't add to the commute". We do get paid semi regularly. Typical beltway job shop tied to government contacting. General lack of communication, stove pipe management, and lack of accountability make this an easy place to work if you don't care about anything. Keep your seat warm and put 8h on your time card before you leave for the day. Burdensome HR who C suite leader is the archetype villain from one of those books on a "5 books every CEO should read list". So you have hours of entertainment there. Every contract is a bit different so you might work with a good group. However, upper management is still always there.

Cons

They don't contribute to your 401k. It's an ESOP, not publicly traded, and a 10 year pay out. They have 5 years to start and can do 20% a year.
