Decent company

Pros

Decent company with good benefits. Management left me alone to do my job for the most part, but never could understand the logistics behind working shift work on an off-site location.

Cons

There doesn't seem to be a lot of room to move around within the company. They aren't very big so new opportunities or transfers are almost out of the question.

Pros

Pay is fair and at market rate for location. Benefits are far above what smaller companies offer in the DoD space. Being a 501c(3) company means no knee jerk "Quarterly" thinking -- long range business planning and investment can, and does, occur. The company has a diversified business base which allows some flexibility in new assignments. The company has won, and tries to win, long term contracts. The company management I worked with at Riverside is the best I've had in the last 10 years.

Cons

Majority of work population is embedded at customer sites. If the customer is good and sane, you'll have a good work environment. If not, the company will listen, but can't do much. Contracts come and go, but transition plans for when the contract ends to move good employees doesn't happen or happens in the "11th hour" and is rushed and not well coordinated.
