Pros

Great team to work with. Everyone was dedicated and reliable. I felt like I could go to anyone on my team for assistance, knowledge transfer, and guidance. Direct leadership was informative, checked in often, offered growth opportunities, and guidance when needed.

Cons

Company felt too large and focused on immediate growth of company and less on employees. Opportunities for growth were there at times but was difficult to leave current role or branch out to get a feel for other areas of interested. A lot of jobs are based on contract status. Company puts strong bids for contracts and renewals and sense of job security was always there. When contract status was negative company was not as helpful in finding employment elsewhere within company. I had a strong desire to stay with company and continue to serve the client or other government agency. HR would instruct you to look on the internal job board. Eventually had to move on.
