Thank you for taking time to complete a review and for providing your honest feedback. With anonymous feedback, it is hard to assess the situation and determine what is driving the perceived issues. As for our project managers, we have two types, we have managers who are responsible for the project/client (relationships and financials) and people, and we have people care managers who are just responsible for people. With all managers, regardless of the type and if we hired them externally or we promoted them from within the company, they go through a series of trainings. Everyone goes through people care manager training, which is 15 - 20 hours of training on how to manage people. Project managers also go through additional training on how to manage contract financials and work with clients. Of course, with all organizations and positions, you can find out that someone is not the right fit and if so, we do our best to help resolve the issue. If you are having challenges with your manager, you should contact HR to help navigate the situation. If you want to discuss, I am happy to be available, please reach out on Teams. ~Kendall, CEO

Pros

I got high performance review and got a 5% salary raise

Cons

the rewriting Trade Profile project is 70% done and they suddenly change looks and views and using old technology Jquery and Ajax combine together with Angular which causes performance issue and security issue. if these changes apply to all the project, then it will rewrite everything which means all previous 70% work wasted and that is about 2 million dollars. they also cheat on Labor Cost Estimate and didn't tell the customer how long it can finish the project, I was fired by posting a LOE message on the group chat saying the technology will cause issue and it will delay the function by 3-5 months, I was fired the next day. as I said, the Export commodity function was scheduled to release on Jan 15 2025 but delayed until June 2025

Pros

The team-level people and general culture are good. Some very talented individuals. The tech / architectures are really cool, not always easy to work in but they are often built in a very interesting/smart way.

Cons

Although remote is nice, this company will work you into the ground due to a combination of poor planning/deadlines and poor resource allocation. You will get very poorly refined/defined work that requires you to cosplay as a UI/UX designer, product manager, and sometimes even developer (my actual role). I constantly have to work weekends and forgo my actual life for no overtime pay and barely average salary pay. Their response to the salary part will be that they pay on-par with XYZ market standards, but given that you will often be working well over 40 hour work weeks to accommodate poor planning/resource allocation, this is a flat out lie at worst and purposefully misleading at best. It is a tough market so we have to take what we can get, but in my experience this is not a sustainable place to work and I will likely start looking again due to burnout (overworked/underpaid). I've also never had a single meeting with any boss or anything, about anything. They don't care about your career growth or job satisfaction or anything really. You're pretty much just on an island with a crap ton of ambiguous work just being initiated at the last second before a deadline.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. It looks like you have been with us for less than a year and likely on one project. I appreciate your suggestions around planning contract/roadmaps/work better. Unfortunately, as government contractors, we are not often in full control of those items, they are dictated by client requirements. We CAN work with our clients to refine these and give feedback so that our team and the client can both be successful. All of our projects are different, so if you are do not feel like your project is a good match for you, I'd encourage you to reach out to your manager and/or HR to talk about options. In terms of pay, we do pay market rates which are based on where you live in the country, your level of experience and what our competitors, other government contractors are paying. Unlike in the commercial sector, the government controls the rates we can charge for the work, so we are constrained (all government contractors) by this. If you have more feedback or want to talk about your specific situation or project please reach out to me directly or to Emma, our VP of HR on Teams. ~Kendall, CEO
