Pros

Average benefits Immediate vesting in 401K Pay is above industry standard (but absolutely not worth it)

Cons

1. Corporate nepotism - family owned and family run. 2. Top executives and leadership are mainly prior military with little to no business insight or contracting experience. 3. Small company cannot see past their small company mentality. 4. ZERO work life balance. 5. Micromanagement to a degree I have never before witnessed. Routine decisions shoot up the organization through VP level and CEO for approval. Suffocating and smothering individuals hired for their expertise, no room or freedom to accomplish the job you were hired to do. 6. Constant attrition and turnover throughout corporate offices. 7. Business Development is a colossal failure. No new business, always grandiose dreams and plans with no results. 8. Poor decisions seem to be predictable with no accountability at corporate level. 9. Poor Director level staffing, most department heads are performing at positions higher than their capabilities. 10. Personnel decisions have left the organization open to litigation. Culture and Values of the organization are very toxic. 11. The problems begin with the CEO and the culture he has created and allowed to persist.

Pros

This is a privately held company that is family owned and operated. That's a disclaimer, not a pro. You love your family but you probably can't stand them for the majority of the time. The work here is very interesting and there are opportunities to expand and excel. Benefits are great and... ok, that's really all there is.

Cons

If it's so great to work here, why is the C-suite in NY? This disconnect between the CEO and the headquarters makes it pretty easy to understand why there's no investment in the culture here. Turnover's pretty high and there's a big emphasis on bringing in experienced people (and then not letting them use their experience and micromanaging everything). There's an air of negativity that may stem from one lost proposal after another, constantly seeing coworkers leave, or having work/ideas stifled.

Pros

Great salary and benefits, overseas accommodations are fairly comfortable.

Cons

Privately owned business that grew too big in a hurry. They do not value their employees. People either leave or are let go. Too much turnover. The culture is 'Self-Serving' arrogance starting from the top - owners. Iraq project is a total functional disaster. PMO - redundant, never had any control over the Sites.
