The Best Contracting Company I Know Of

Program analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Higher average salary than competing government contracting companies. - Overall good benefits package (health insurance declined slightly, but they did their best to compensate for it by increasing other benefits) - Excellent training benefits

Cons

- The company can be somewhat corporate-centric; meaning that there is rarely opportunity for advancement outside of the corporate office (though this has little impact on my career as I've got no desire to be a Vice President) -Unless you work at the corporate office, the work culture is controlled by your customer which means you don't have the flexibility of negotiating work circumstances as you would in commercial companies (Note: This is true of nearly all government contracting companies, but it is still a negative mark in my book, even though it is outside of CALIBRE's control)

Great people doing good work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people, employee-owned firm, proficient in its niche with federal contracting, excellent focus on customer service, opportunities to grow and, to a lesser extent, develop professionally

Cons

Too-tied to federal contracts within Army, thanks to many in senior leadership being ex-Army or Army civilian employees. A little too risk-averse in some areas of business development, in that not clear on what skills should invest in to win new work. Strategy seems largely reactive.
