      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - knows how to poach employees and ruin their career

      Cons

      - Colonial atrocities - they make rules so that they can make your life miserable - highly insensitive company and people in the organization - good people already left what remains in top is bunch of old timers who don't know how to operate and can't succeed - Only bootlicking survives, mediocrity prevails - talent doesn't, if you are around it means you need to start looking out soon

      Worst company ever

      Risk advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ther paychecks didn't bounce and the Christmas party at the air and space museum was amazing. They spent at least $200,000 for the event.

      Cons

      The predatory nature of the corporate business was so awful, even when they bought the company I worked for because the federal government loved our track record, the entire team was eventually laid off for cheaper and existing BAE employees. The last laugh is when the entire Annapolis Junction division was shut down due to never winning a contract after our existing vehicle ended. Their Northern Virginia office was a bunch of robots and with the exception of a few of the HR and Legal drones, everyone else moved on. Glad I was first to dump this company.

      Office Space

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Vacation and benefits and lots of coffee and bagels

      Cons

      Worse company ever. This is the reason the movie office space was created. Nothing happens. Its 99 % process. Everyone is on vacation. The spirit of apathy is dominate in the work space. Nobody thinks. They just want to keep there easy job where all they have to do is THE PROCESS. You will lose your soul working here. I went to the restroom 6x just for something to do
