Pros

- Small company so you aren't just another face in the crowd. - Enthusiastic leaders. - I consider Akima/Tuvli as a "Disruptor" in the GovCon world. - Sense of purpose and impact; Your work directly impacts the Shareholders.

Cons

As with most GovCons, there isn't much room for advancement unless you move to DC. Other than that, its a great company.
