CEO is destroying morale

Pros

Really interesting work in some areas A few VPs deserve their title for leadership, vision and compassion Benefits are still strong for now

Cons

Forced return to office with out any logic is destroying morale. What happened to flexibility? Gong in to sit in an office with the door closed while you are on virtual meetings with people all over the country wastes time and takes away employee empowerment. Benefits are slowly eroding TOO.MANY.VPS!!

Pros

The whole federal consulting field allows for a nice pipeline from taxpayer, to government, to government employees, who are wealthy enough to themselves be taxpayers but not so wealthy as to avoid taxes. So the compensation is great. If you can stick to your principle and accept only work for the agencies that you believe in, you can look at yourself in the mirror every morning. As of now, there are some work from home options, but the company has been signaling that it will take those away for over a year now.

Cons

There’s no way this whole enterprise stays financially viable for the next ten years. Salaries are competitive with private sector, but budgets are not. There will be a reckoning. Also, like every other company I’ve ever seen or worked for, efforts at diversity and inclusion are window dressing, and ultimately designed to maintain a delicate status quo.

Pros

- large diversity of work opportunities - good education benefits

Cons

- continual need to job hunt ( every ~6 months or so) to maintain contract coverage, can be extremely nerve-wracking as you're also expected to network and find jobs for those that work under you - year after year we've seen reduction in benefits, given that salary is lower than comparable private sector companies that makes the company less attractive - company is spread far apart (you'll often be on teams with people located in several different teams), but leadership is gradually enforcing more RTO measures
