Pros
1. People: You are surrounded with competent, experienced, high energy professionals who genuinely desire to satisfy the needs of clients 2. Technology: Progressive technology that benefits clients and allows all to work smarter 3. Pay: Very competitive pay 4. Mission: Rewarding--everyday you go home knowing that your efforts directly added value to an Owner/Client 5. Openness: CEO, COO, and Regional Managers always encourage open and candid dialogue 6. Professional development is encouraged and supported
Cons
1. Being a relatively small nation-wide company (< than 100 employees) challenges do sometimes emerge during periods of client surge activity; but, employees quickly rally to get the effort complete regardless of the effort required 2. With Federal Government BRAC (Base Re-Alignment and Closure Commission) work wrapping up in 2011, MOCA has the challenge of replacing that work during tough economic times, which is slowly happening through the hard work of all employees

Pros
MOCA has a very talented workforce. It is a real pleasure to engage with and learn from some of the finest people in the industry. MOCA is heavily involved in unique and challenging projects. The company thrives on innovation and doesn't back away from complex or difficult problems. It prides itself in being able to do what others shy away from. Some people may find that uncomfortable because it isn't "safe". Personally, I draw energy from it and I wouldn't want it any other way. MOCA expects a lot from its employees. If you're capable and a hard charger, you'll create your own opportunities and go places here. If you prefer being a wall flower, this probably isn't the place for you. MOCA is entrepreneurial. Formal processes and red-tape are in short supply. We do what it takes to get the job done and if it means straying outside of traditional job descriptions, so be it. There isn't much hand-holding here and there is a lot of drinking from the fire-hose, but in the end exceptional work is recognized and rewarded.
Cons
Establishing a work-life balance can be a real challenge here. Vacations do sometimes get interrupted and nights/weekends are not always your own. This isn't a 9 to 5 kind of place. MOCA is spread out across the country. Many offices and jobsite have less than 5 people. Building a sense of community and belonging can be difficult. You may at times feel like you are going it alone without much support even though there may be others going through the exact same experience elsewhere in the company. MOCA is able to turn on a dime and that can be really unsettling as an employee when you're not privy to the decision making process. Although management seems to try to be transparent, the reasons behind some of their decisions are not always clear and sometimes may even be misunderstood. That creates an environment ripe for gossip and mistrust.
