Pros

Focus on getting on contracts with meaningful work - usually FFP Great co-workers A lot of autonomy Excellent work-life balance Remote first Generous with wellness days, PTO, and professional development funds

Cons

Still a young company so there are growing pains (leadership takes a lot of time to make decisions which isn't necessarily bad but can feel like indecision at times) Lack of UX/HCD vision at this time, though, that may improve as the company grows and continues to build out this function Limited room for growth as it is dependent on winning new work but this is also the nature of the government contracting business

Pros

Good enough benefits. Having no manager is amazing. Good transparency about the business health. Most of the ICs you'll work with on your project team will be smart, kind, empathetic. Government contract work is some of the most rewarding work available, and agile 6 does much work with VA. It's gratifying to serve our nation's Veterans.

Cons

I joined agile 6 a few years ago and I went all in. I thought this was a place to spend a career. I drank the kool-aid about the people first culture, having others' back ("we've got your 6") and all that. Sadly, I have only experienced the bare minimum of support and I have regressed professionally. When you spend so much of your time on meetings, dealing with quirky stakeholders, problem solving on your own because the company has no recourse...your skills start to suffer. When the business suffered due to the change in presidential administration, agile 6 forced people between contracts to take pay cuts. Do you want to work at a company for several years only to be rewarded with a PAY CUT during a time of high inflation and looming recession?
