Pros

I find the management very transparent and honest. They've done their best to take care of me.

Cons

You need a clearance to work most of the jobs they have- so that's kind of a drag but their work is mostly with the federal government. The application process was kind of arduous for me but they are saying they are revamping this to be way easier this spring.

Terrible place to work for.

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!

Great environment, good culture, empowered employees, good leadership, highly visionary, and ethical organization. Enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Occasionally employees are asked to do to much when things get busy. Should hire a few more staff members.
