Pros
A dynamic, small-but-growing business, engaged in a wide array of meaningful work. The range of efforts in which ECI is involved keeps the company - and the workforce - from being vulnerable to the termination of individual contracts. A highly talented population of hardware and software developers applies fresh approaches to solve challenging problems in applications and systems development, in hardware and software security, and in workflow and supply chain optimization. The owners take an active role in everyday operation, and are very accessible. Flexible, well-defined processes and a team-based project management structure keep projects on track without handcuffing developers and managers.
Cons
Currently performing a higher proportion of federal contract work than is probably ideal, given the government's tendency to rearrange their own priorities and funding levels based on political, economic, and budgetary conditions. Owner involvement level can seem intrusive to employees who aren't accustomed to the small business environment.

Pros
For a private sector IT shop the normal work week stays pretty close to 40hrs. As long as you are not the only one filling a role you can flex your hours to earlier or later in the day. This can be a big benefit to those with kids. The people you work along side on the floor are great. They openly share information and experience with the rest of the team members. If you need a job it is easy to get your foot in the door if you are a man. They never missed a payroll while I was there.
Cons
Pay and benefits are on the low end of the scale. While there are some people that have been there for 10yrs + most only stick around a couple with many leaving before 1yr. For a 70 person firm they have an annual turnover rate of more than 50%. This is ridiculous. User workspace is comprised of 4x6 partitions with 5ft Ikea tables(not desks) and a 2 drawer file cabinet. Most people where headphones so they can concentrate. They preach accurate time sheet reportingbut don't follow it. Due to turn over and short staff they repeatedly miss contract project deadlines and goals. With the high turnover rate expect to spend alot of time decoding somebody else's work for which there is no documentation for. If you report directly to the owner expect to be micromanage every 15 minutes, when she is there. Expect to be talked to like you are 6. Expect to be interrupted by management regardless if you on on the phone/conversation with a client or co-worker.
