      Greaty pay and benefits

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salaries are higher than they should be to be honest. The bonuses they added 2 years ago are great! 401k matching with an automtaic 6% right off the bat and HSA contributions/capability. Medical insurance is pretty bad now.

      Cons

      Most IT managers where I work are not up to par. They are managers grown within the LM system and offer no innovation or guidance. They are merely there to do performance reviews and approve change requests. They believe you don't need to be technical to lead technical people. To that I say you may as well have 0 technology knowledge and hire my Mom or Dad who have led way more people than these managers have led.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • Good salary and good benefits • Strongly supports diversity and equal opportunity • The work is challenging, interesting, and rewarding • Opportunities for advancement • Generally pleasant work environment • Good teams • Matching 401k • Annual, company-wide ethics training • Flexible hours • Good work/life balance

      Cons

      • As for all government contractors, the whims of the customer can sometimes have a serious negative financial impact on a program • While still good, benefits have been getting reduced in recent years, leading to a greater cost burden placed on employees in return for lesser benefits, especially with respect to health insurance

      Great place to start or end a career

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm surrounded by extremely bright people who never hesitate to share their knowledge, making the transition from a project reaching end of life to another that is ramping up much easier if the technology is outside my current knowledge base. Program management has been very successful in recent years in bringing in new business that opens up opportunities for employees to continue working on projects within their comfort zone, or expand their knowledge by taking on projects that require learning new technologies. No micromanagement. You're given a task, allowed to provide input for scheduling deliverables and expected to meet your commitments, or step up and report reasons for possible delays as soon as they become apparent.

      Cons

      Feast or famine. When projects are spinning up and running at full steam you won't get bored. When they're nearing end of life it can be a struggle to find meaningful, billable work to do if you aren't assertive in seeking out a new or existing project that can use your skill set.
