      Pros

      Location is in Idaho Falls which is excellent for family life, outdoor recreation, safe, clean working environment. Pay is very good for the area. Variety of jobs within the company that allow for movement. Help with advancing your education. Near a satellite university campus.

      Cons

      The ever pervasive dark cloud of whether funding will carry on another year. Decisions in government affect your employment. Can get lost in the crowd without much say in the direction of the company. Some contractors that come in take what they can before moving on to another government entity to manage.

      Solve What Matters Most?

      Pros

      High quality people. Solve hard problems. Good charitable mission.

      Cons

      What matters most is the bottomline. Little tolerance for non-billable work. No clear path for advancement outside of Columbus. Quick to layoff un-billable staff. Admin organizations in the company operate independently of those they serve. Inefficient matrix management. Some of those who own the work do not work well with resource managers. They don't communicate and they lead their projects using fear and threats of losing work to "keep people in check."
