Pros

It's hard to find a reason someone would join this company unless you are unemployed and can walk to work. They have let some of their best talent leave or laid them off.

Cons

They have bad or inexperienced managers who don't effectively manage or communicate requirements. They are trying to get work, but underbid the required time for the quality work expected. They also micromanage your "time" and "billable" hours need to be at least 40.

I thank this person for their review. Internally, we are hyper-focused on feedback, so this data is very helpful in providing us with information to make Carney a valuable place to work – for all of our employees. With regard to the 40-hour requirement comment, like most companies, we do expect our full-time, salaried employees to work at least 40 hours. Employees in this category work, on average, about 43 hours per week at Carney, which we believe supports our goal of a proper work-life balance for employees. For people who desire a different schedule, we offer full-time positions of less than 40 hours as well as part-time positions. All full-time positions, including those of less than 40 hours, come with comprehensive benefits. Employees routinely move between these statuses to find a position that matches their work-life balance requirements as their personal lives change. With regard to the layoffs, we unfortunately did have to make adjustments in the Fall of 2013 and in doing so, were forced to let go of some incredibly talented and valuable people. In looking to the future, the improvements we have made since then are substantial and we are excited about what the future holds. I encourage anyone with questions to email me at hr@teamcarney.com.

Pros

I was at Carney for a while, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best places I’ve worked. The leadership team genuinely cares about employees, and there’s a real sense of collaboration here. The culture is supportive, and work-life balance is respected. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, but without micromanagement. If you’re self-motivated and enjoy working on interesting projects with smart, driven people, this is the place to be. Like any company, there are challenges, but leadership is always open to feedback and actively works to make things better. Overall, a great company with great people!

Cons

Not necessarily cons for Carney, but they are a federal contractor which means we have to deal with federal people who sometimes are difficult. My work was remote which I like, but means I only got to see people on Teams or when there are socials every few months. As a small company, they don't have as many formal processes that I was used to from larger organizations.

Pros

Flexibile work schedule, no micromanagement and you are encouraged to do your job, some remote opportunities, good healthcare plan options, internal company leave donation program.

Cons

Limited opportunity for upward mobility or growth, a slow-growing PTO system when first starting with the company, with no room to negotiate.
