Pros

On a day to day basis, you actually work for a government office, not Odyssey.

Cons

Odyssey only cares about winning government contracts. It's people are expendable and they don't care to keep quality people on their contracts. Their game is to win a government contract, low ball employee salaries, and quiet hire them to do company business while only paying them a salary for the government job they were hired to do.

Pros

Very easy company to work for. HR is very responsive if there are any issues. Competitive salary and benefits. Medium sized company is continuing to grow and get new business.

Cons

I am on a project that supports the USAF and feel a bit disconnected from the company. I work at the client site and rarely interact with anyone from the company.

Pros

Zero Pros, none whatsoever. They pay a lot of money. If you're looking to get a high salary jump and switch to another job after then go for it. My guess is you will want to leave 2 weeks after you start working there.

Cons

No ressources No management skills No structures Do not work for those people specially those at Fort Meade, MD, and specially if it is RF/Wireless spectrum related. Power struggle people with military mentality. They will treat you as a soldier with no life. They will treat as a simple contractor. They do not care about your life outside work and how that can affect your work schedule. They will monitor every step you take.They have a high turn over rate. They will most likely not hire you after your 6 months contract is over if you're a subcontractor for them. Management don't make decision. DoD makes it for them. They have people who are managing RF spectrum related teams and they know nothing about spectrum and it takes forever to get them to understand some basic topics. As an engineer and a contractor, you have no say in meetings, they get every info from you and go make themselves look good. The management team is like the blind leading the blind. 95% of the management team DoD and contractor do not have any college degree whatsoever. Think I'm lying? Ask around in the spectrum community. Their reputation precede themselves. It is so bad there that they are giving a 10k bonus for each year you stay and still people leave. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
