Great team in Madison, but the contract work is nerve-wracking and political
Pros
- Pay is competitive - Interesting and varied work opportunities - Corporate offices would be great to work for (consider a transfer opportunity if you can relocate) - Management is competent and experienced in the field
Cons
- Many changes/acquisitions (in less than 5 years went from R.W. Beck to SAIC to SAIC EE&I to Leidos) - Low job security: Wisconsin is a satellite office that hinges primarily on a few large contracts. When those are in jeopardy or up for bid, things get tough. - Feast and famine - expect insane hours when contract goals are behind, yet be prepared for periods of extremely slow work when contracts budgets are tight (yet there is pressure to be billable at all times) - While management is very experienced, they have at times been lacking in the "people" side of managing. Unfortunately, very apparent during times of change, which are frequent here. Overall, if job security is important to you, I can't recommend this office...
