Pros

Smart colleagues; interesting work; a beautiful location

Cons

Since work depends on customer contracts, tenure may be outside of an individual employee's control.

Thanks for posting, and for the nice comment. This location gets even more beautiful now that spring is here. Our work is indeed driven by customer contracts; that's part of what makes things so diverse and interesting. And we already do what you suggest: use contractors as a buffer against retraction in business. It seems to be working, since we've had no layoffs while tripling our size over the past 15 years. Feel free to contact me directly to learn more about how we do this.

Pros

Northport is a nice area. There is a dog park near by and some nice places to eat. Nothing positive about the company.

Cons

Benefits are non existent, No one seems to be honest with each other, Building is falling apart, Very poor management and training.

Considering that this poster admonishes us to "try to be honest" and accuses us of fraud, we must respond. First, we do not "fake reviews": I doubt Glassdoor would be as successful as it is were it possible for companies to do so. Second, this poster did not work here for "more than a year": he was here a little more than three months. (We know because this post uses the same words as a much lengthier and more detailed post that he recently deleted). As to our building, well, it happens to be a 140-year-old structure in a quaint old village on the north shore of Long Island, so it does require a bit more care than your typical office park. But we find that to be part of its charm.

Pros

Small town setting. Almost a family-like environment. Work with some very talented developers. Management is technically savvy compared to some firms. Some projects require interesting abstract thinking and creativity, though only during certain phases of the work.

Cons

Projects demand long hours, despite limited career path. No B- or C-level management (limited authority, limited delegation of decision-making). There is an increasing focus on classified projects whose limited transparency makes quality and sustainability difficult to assess vs. similar work by peers.

Thanks for the nice things you've said. Things have grown a bit since this was posted in 2011. We do have a shallow management organization, because we're a small business, but growth has led us to delegate more to our senior people. We're not sure we understand the comment about government work and a myopic value system. Perhaps you're referring to the fact that our government work is all research, and that does not always produce a successful (or good) outcome, So yes, at times the quality of the end result may not live up to the hopes we had at the start, but that happens in research: not all ideas pan out. And while some of our work is still classified, the balance has shifted since 2011; most of what we do now isn't classified. In fact, we're doing quite a bit more commercial work than we were doing five years ago, so the mix has changed. We're still enthusiastic about our government-funded research, but our commercial app development has stepped up considerably. So it's a nice mix.
