Pros

AST cares deeply about employee happiness. They engage often and provide as much support as possible to help you complete the work you are doing for your clients. They have great benefits & very good salaries, and an easy-going corporate culture that encourages people to engage with senior leadership.

Cons

Most opportunities are with an "on-site" client. Staff are embedded with clients - which blurs the line between "boss" and client. Often, AST leadership are not aware of how staff are performing - or what they are working on. There is limited opportunity for career advancement, unless you find avenues within your client space for growth. Career growth, new responsibilities, etc. are not always correlated with pay raises.

Hands Off Management - Bad Benefits

Pros

As a federal support contractor, AST is very hands-off. Very little need for interaction with the company except for administrative tasks like invoicing, training, or timesheets. Company will sponsor you for a PMP training and exam.

Cons

Professional development outside of the PMP is a joke. Annual goals developed with manager are pretty much a box checking exercise. Company won't contribute money for outside training to learn new skills relevant to the job, expects the client to pay. 401k provider is high-fee, no company matching into a HSA for a high deductible health plan, health insurance is probably the worst I've had yet, doesn't seem to cover anything 'preventative' except a flu shot. Vacation and sick days are are the same (being sick isn't relaxing last time I checked), would be ok if they gave you more to compensate, but most are offered 15 days.
