Pros

The classes are small, you get DLI certification and use their materials, and the students are frequently tested in 3-week cycles, so that you change your students regularly.

Cons

The management is disorganized, Machovelian, and unable to maintain any consistency with its rules. We went through many management changes, including administrative directors, supervisors, deputy directors, administrators, etc. I was only there a year and saw a constant flow of management coming and going. The rules change almost daily as to what you can and can't do. The HR department is terrible. They are slow to respond, and I ended up losing a lot of money as a result of their negligence. They still haven't reimbursed my travel benefit from 2016.

Pros

Supportive team and collaborative environment. The team is always willing to jump in and help when challenges arise. There is a strong sense of camaraderie that makes collaboration easy and enjoyable. Teamwork and collaboration are a big part of the culture here. I believe the team dynamic is one of the strongest parts of the company. Great environment to share ideas and learning from one another. Also, the flexible remote work options which helps maintaining a good work-life balance. The company's commitment to flexibility is invaluable—especially during peak project times.

Cons

Communication between departments could improve as the company evolves. While the team is collaborative and has a team-driven mentality, communication isn't always streamlined.

Pros

Wargames were joint and often times included allies and partners; this made the wargame an outstanding environment for experimenting with concepts, as well as preparing the USAF, for future conflicts. BF primarily remained hands off in how the team at Andrews AFB performed their duties--this was a plus in the team's ability to work freely with the primary--the USAF.

Cons

Nothing overly troublesome comes to mind. I do not remember ever meeting David M. West.
