Pros

Great Learning environment, reasonable pay, good benefits, interesting projects, good research and development budget, privately owned.

Cons

Federal contracts are tedious and add bloat to costs, additionally regulations in contracts change frequently which create confusion. Slow to adopt better processes. The federal vaccine mandates additionally made it unreasonable to work for a government contractor. It left the company with a choice between contracts or no contracts. The company obviously chose the contracts. I disagree with state run business, it goes against our Constitution and the Vaccine Mandates represent unprecedented government interference in private business.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
