Pros

Plenty of overtime during busy season which is around the holidays and summer time. Management tries to compensate employees with resiliency workshops and appreciation month. Job security is prominent.

Cons

Overtime may become mandatory at times of heavy workload for this specific positiion. PTO accrual rate is too low considering we don't get sick days and need to use PTO/ Leave without pay for ALL absences, tardies, and early leave.

Pros

Great Benefits, good co-workers great location in Fairfax, VA

Cons

This company DOES NOT provide any severance. They try to hide that fact and it is a well kept secret until you are rolled off a project and find out there is none. Company just started a program to STOP people from working from home. Work Life balance was one of the key benefits and the one thing everyone loved the most and why we all rated the company high.
