Thank you for your review. You are correct, we have not typically been a UX company, our work is typically full stack development. We are trying to learn and hiring employees who have those skill sets as we have clients who see value in UX. Unfortunately, right now, Federal contracting work has become unpredictable. Typically, we have consistent contracts that are 3 - 5 years in length and have the ability to recompete for them if there is a operations and maintenance opportunity. Happy to talk more about this and hear your insights on UX processes and thoughts on how we might more effectively get them into place. Feel free to reach out to me on Teams. ~Kendall, CEO

Leadership Undermines Teams and Mission

Pros

Talented, kind, and collaborative colleagues at the team level and in the main office. Benefits and flexibility are competitive. DEIA and volunteer initiatives are thoughtful and impactful.

Cons

Despite the company’s stated values and many brilliant employees, in my experience, leadership prioritizes contracts and its own interests over employee well-being, integrity, and even project success. This creates a culture of dysfunction, inequity, and blame, with serious consequences for morale, retention, trust, and quality of deliverables. Recruitment promises about bonuses, profit sharing, and stable contracts were not delivered. Salaries appeared inconsistent and political, with significant discrepancies between employees in similar roles. Employees were also discouraged from discussing salaries, raising concerns about transparency and fairness. Employees were hired for one role and then expected to take on significantly more responsibility without title changes, support, or pay adjustments, under vague, unfulfilled promises of future reviews. Managers did not initiate regular check-ins, and teams carried the weight of leadership’s absence while being told to feel grateful for the opportunity to overextend themselves. Leadership was often absent during critical periods and then quick to assign blame when problems arose. Teams were excluded from key client conversations but still held accountable for decisions made without their input. Subject-matter expertise was dismissed, even when significant operational risks were raised. The company promotes an Agile culture but enforces rigid waterfall practices, fixed schedules, and unrealistic deadlines when mandated by the government. If you value integrity, transparency, work-life balance, and being treated with respect, proceed with caution. In my experience, leadership prioritized protecting contract revenue over supporting employees, which undermined the people, the products/solutions, and the stated company mission.

Thanks for your feedback. We strive to be as transparent as possible and be as upfront as possible. The agile/waterfall feedback is actionable we do train our teams, however, we have to meet our clients where they are so they are often not 100% on board with how we want to work. As I tell all new employees in orientation, we are a people-first organization and there are three important items that are at the core of our success: 1) we meet and exceed our clients expectations, 2) we make sure our team members needs are met, and 3) we work best in teams. Clients are #1 because we are a services company without clients we do not have jobs. If we don't have a contracts, we have no employees, so we do care about contracts and take care of those. We care for our employees and we try to mediate any project challenges and we have "fired" clients, but we do that to the detriment of all employees. We are not perfect but we do try to focus on people, our clients are also people. We also have spent a lot of time establishing job families and pay scales. We refresh annually looking at market compensation data using quality tools like ERI, Glassdoor and others. We look to be competitive with our peers, other government contractors. We know there are other companies who pay more than we do but typically they are not competitors in our market. ~Kendall, CEO
