Pros

I worked on a few really interesting jobs as contracted through the company, and I was well paid for my work.

Cons

Really poor management, to the point that management mistakes get blamed on the contractors. Their practices for having employees record hours are extremely suspect and borderline unethical, either resulting in contractors being forced to work hours they're not paid for (to avoid being fired) or billing the client for more hours than we actually worked (which we couldn't mention to the client, again for fear of being fired by the company).

Pros

No pros to speak of

Cons

Ever since McCallie was sold to the Alutiiq Corporation, McCallie Associates reputation in the defense industry has tanked. I reported to the President of the company as my direct report, and had next to NO interaction aside from approving my timesheets. No performance or feedback reviews. Just a butt in a seat that generates revenue. A prime contractor ceased doing business with them locally, and I was discharged when the contract expired on 30 April. They now have no contracts in the Omaha/Bellevue DoD space, that I know of. I'm fortunate to have found a job since then, but found out that I wasn't covered by the companies 1 month insurance at all, since they end coverage on the 30th of each month. Best advice - do NOT apply to this company. The former owner of the company (may he RIP) would be livid to see what's been done to the company he founded and its ruined reputation among DoD prime contractors.
