Pros

You are afforded a lot of flexibility with your work schedule and telework. The leave benefits are excellent, determine by years of experience rather than years with the company. Who wants to have 2 weeks vacation when you have been working in your field for the past 15 years? Not me

Cons

The only downside I see is that upper management and business unit directors have very little face time with those people that report to them. So I suppose it depends on your spin. That could be Pro because they are not micro managing. Or a con if you want more interaction with senior management so that they are more in touch with those contracts they are responsible for.

Pros

Work is diverse and interesting, compensation is pretty good for the industry. Company has traditionally had a family feel where it is easy to have congenial relationships with HR, IT, other groups, etc. Champions cutting edge technology when possible, always looking forward. Very flexible schedules are possible as well as telecommuting.

Cons

Company is growing really fast and culture can't keep up. Although they espouse ethical behavior, it really depends on who the AD is, what the project is, and where the money is at. Senior Management says one things, but clearly champions keeping the money rolling in rather than drinking their own koolaid of only accepting the "right" kind of clients. If you have a good manager and team, things are GREAT! If you are on a crazy project or have ineffectual managers, you are screwed. There is less stability than they say--if your project ends there is no guarantee that you will be moved to another team or if you are that you will be doing what you really want to do. Again, it all comes down to your managers and who advocates for you. Aquilent assumed very little risk during the government shutdown--if your project was shut down you had use your own vacation or go into the hole and then not get paid. This seems unfair for a company that only works with the federal government.
