Great Work-life balance, not so great professional growth

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work schedule; great teams who work hard and also know how to take time out for fun; if a contract ends, employees will be placed on other teams

Cons

If you want to go to a conference or take a class and want them to pay for it, they will make you sign a form that you will pay back any money spent if you leave within a year (prorated if you leave before 2 years). They fail to see immediate payback to the company if you acquire new skills and knowledge! Basically, you become stagnant unless you have the resources to pay for yourself. Issues are brought up once, during your yearly review, and it can be a surprise as you had no idea there was an issue with your performance.

Great flexible place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people. Flexible hours. Fun work environment. Long history. Lot of wisdom in these walls.

Cons

Highly locked into niche markets and contracts. Investment in people and infrastructure is minimal at best. Skeleton crew IT dept with hardly any company-wide tools and technical resources. Extremely conservative financially.

Great people doing good work

Anonymous employee

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.
