Pros

I did some pretty interesting work while I was there. While jobs were coming in, everything was great. Good benefits and attracted the right kind of employees. Loved the 9/80 schedule.

Cons

The quality of company culture and ongoing tasking started dropping a couple years before I left in 2018. Too many changes in management and an unclear direction for the company. I hope things are better now!

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.
