      Pros

      Worked as a field systems engineer in the CPOF program. Decent place to work if you need somewhere to beef up your system administrator and other IT skills. The program I worked for gave you plenty of flexibility to work on and study whatever you wanted when things were slow or there were no trouble tickets to handle.

      Cons

      Working as a contractor means that at any point in time there will be budget cuts and employee lay offs. Company leadership tried to take care of us as best they could, but if there were cuts then we as the field engineers wouldn't find out until the absolute last minute. Also, you don't get good over time benefits because each project has a set budget; so if you have to work overtime to get the customers systems up and running and overtime has not been computed in the budget, then you're screwed.

      Thank you for your review. CPOF is a very important program and we appreciate your work on it! Government cuts are difficult and we are doing everything that we can to protect our core programs by engaging key leadership in Washington, and pursuing new opportunities. Please be sure to keep an eye on ConnectingPoint, this is the main forum that we use for disseminating information to everyone and we update it daily. In the meantime, we will take your advice into serious consideration as we seek to improve communication between staff and senior management.

      Pros

      Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

      Cons

      Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
