Pros

Compensation is great! Opportunities for advancement and training are present. Educational programs (tuition assistance) are there for you. This company is very strong with highering the military.

Cons

Red tape, internal politics and office antics are overwhelming. Matrixed teams but functional silos (structure doesn't match workload). Company is very 1980. 9-5. Needs to modernize its work culture.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
