Pros

If you know someone that works there, you can get an in and a leg up quickly. Matching retirement contributions are 13% to a required 2% minimum (unless it's changed).

Cons

If you don't know someone that already works there: you are treated like an outsider always and never really fit in. 2 year vesting period for company's retirement contributions to your account.

Pros

Great benefits, some excellent co-workers, organization cares about making a positive contribution to education

Cons

Those who have been with the organization a long time tend to have been promoted - and are not going to leave. So if you don't start higher up, there's no room for growth. Professional development doesn't happen. If you aren't in NYO, it's not easy to transition to a new role (unless you are IT and in Reston).

Pros

I am thinking hard and can't think of many good things about this place. 1. Lot of public holidays total of 15. 2. Easy work hours and flexible schedule 3. Laid back work 4. If you suck up to your boss and leads/PMs you are in good shape.

Cons

Where do I begin. 1. Absolutely despise the management from top to bottom. 2. Most of them except non-management staff are dummies, only care about power and money. 3. Not a healthy environment, leads and PMs have big egos. Don't like to hear a different opinion..."my way or the highway" attitude. 4. Do not ever go into former data services, it is run by incompetent fools. 5. There are two lead information analysts that are absolute scum of the planet, same goes to a very special lady manager who I am having fun working under. 6. Every day is a firefight, no intention of solving or automating work, just plain old manual processes... 7. If you want your career and skills to stagnate this is the place to be. 8. No documentation of key business processes and procedures. Everything is safely locked up in key SMEs brains. Hope they never get hit by a bus or a truck, else half of the company's knowledge is gone...HUGE RISK for the company.....management idiots are you listening??? Good luck bozos...I'm gonna leave this place soon ...and you guys stay under the rock forever. God help the kids who are taking SAT and AP.
