Pros

Great company to work for. Excellent management. Opportunity to lead security engineering and compliance efforts on high-impacted government systems. Solid work-life balance, especially compared to other defense contractors or agencies.

Cons

Lack of structured performance review cycles results in stagnant compensation over time. Compensation does not reflect trends or the level of responsibility in senior security roles. No 401(k)-matching offered, which is disappointing given the industry standard and level of professional contribution.

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.
