Pros

There is amazing work/life balance. I have almost never worked beyond the 9-5 hours

Cons

You might be asked to go to a few Steampunk specific meetings outside of your standard client work

It’s a job

Pros

Relaxed work environment, decent pay, people are generally laid back

Cons

I worked mostly at a client site. Coworkers can be a hit or miss. You may get some who are great, but that’s rare. Be ready for calls late in the evening/ weekends for an “urgent task” that can’t wait. WLB is hit or miss. Management doesn’t communicate well enough in the wake of layoffs, and typically tells you day of that the contract you are on has no funding. Upper management is shady and hides information. This place is a job, not a career and is mostly a personality contest. If you value stability and decent benefits I would not recommend this place. As others have mentioned, getting or having a job is dependent on funding.

Pros

Interview process was positive, multiple rounds to find a role that was a fit, generally good communication throughout each step of the interviews and clearance process. Compensation looks good (keyword 'looks').

Cons

Its federal consulting, they either have the funding for a role, or not. Despite having a contingent offer, there's no guarantee at all if you actually start unless a project has the funding. And that's misleading. Even if you have multiple skillsets. No timeline on clearance, and your offer hinges on that too. Better off accepting a temp contract gig tbh. Your mileage will vary, if any.
