Pros

The company has some very talented hardworking and caring people on its team. They have interesting work and important programs they work on for the DoD.

Cons

With the growth the company the CEO has stepped back and brought in new leadership into thr organization that will "help grt them.to the next level". For years prior to my leaving the company culture was the best thing about the organization and thr mentality of "people over profit ". Frankly "the new leadership that has comr into thr company seem to br thr complete opposite and seem.to have no interest in embracing the company's culture. The communication is lacking and incomplete which is making it a very uncomfortable environment to work in. The company WAS one of the best places to work a yest or year and a half ago but they are running some of thr best leaders and workers out of the company. I hated to leave my coworkers but did not feel secure in the organization any longer.

Chill company to work for, but don't expect competitive pay or meaningful work

Pros

- People are easy to work with and colleagues are generally good - Supervisors are always willing to let you take time off.

Cons

- They keep trying to push the image that they're a "technology company", but nobody in leadership has a technical background or understands the latest technologies. The applications they develop have no clear vision. They keep giving the developers nebulous, half-baked 'requirements' that don't make any sense. They keep adding new features that require architectural rework, when the rework could have been avoided if the goal was clear from the start. - Senior developers spend most of their time in meetings - Supervisors are clueless across the board. They'll sit in meetings, then later when you bring up something that was discussed in the meeting, they'll act like it's new information that they've never heard before. And most of their time is also in meetings - Pay is not competitive and they are stingy on raises.
