Pros

Management (including VP of Employee Happiness) Sales team stays engaged with clients, combating the bait-and-switch feeling Clear - and shared - strategic direction Embracing of telecommuting...and also allowing employees to work at client site Protects employees from clients Management interest in wellbeing of employees TCG Sprees TCG Charity Sprees

Cons

Focus is on employee's happiness, not contractor's or subcontractor's happiness Smaller company, missing some big-company perks (no onsite gym or onsite daycare or concierge or dry cleaning or secretaries) Working from home can be lonely if you need regular human contact Working on client sites can be confusing for new people Not always possible to promote - only so many opportunities within the company

Yeah, okay, Mr. CEO. "Get bigger." Like you haven't given us *that* "advice" before now!

Pros

Really enjoy working with a dedicated group, with a mixture of young professionals and seasoned experts in their fields. Management is transparent and the company's communications with employees, and the benefits that are provided, are really great. What other company provides emergency childcare from White House Nannies? Or emergency pet care?! They hire really smart people for the long-term and have created an environment to make that possible. There's a reason they've won the DC Best Places to Work Award twice!

Cons

There is no "corporate office". Most of us work from home or at a client site. So water-cooler-chat is done mainly through email, IM, and video chats. But this is worth it for the improved balance between work and home.

We actually do have a corporate office in DC but hardly anyone works there, by preference! We use the model of "management by output" rather than "management by observation". What you produce is far more important than turning up to an office and drudging in and out every day. But we also know that communication and camaraderie are essential ingredients to every workplace. That's why we have such strong employee engagement efforts, 2x annual "birthday/un-birthday" coffees with our Employee Happiness folks, TCG sprees, and much more. Thanks for your Positively Distinct review!

Pros

TCG is a small company (about 80 employees) that has a quirky (but fun) culture. We take pride in being intelligent; fair, honest, and open; and working on projects in the government to save taxpayers money. It's not unusual to get an email from management that includes a Haiku about ISO 9001. When possible (determined by the client), we're encouraged to work from home, and since TCG has a background in telecommuting, as long as we get the job done (and attend team meetings) we're allowed to have rather flexible schedules. TCG is growing, and we are actively encouraged to bring friends and family into the company. This has created some pretty an environment where people seem to really enjoy the work and work that much harder for each other.

Cons

Development ranges from maintenance of long-standing systems (some are government systems over 8 years old!) to modern responsive web applications. Sometimes we work in "old" technologies with slow paths to modernization. So to stay on top of the IT landscape, we need to do some extra training outside our projects.

The Exec team agrees with you! This year our Company Theme is "Back to School", and part of our activities will include fostering even more inter- and intra-project learning and sharing. Thanks for your great review!
