Pros

Pay and benefits are fair. Company still supports a pension plan. Work is interesting, comparable to commercial. Engineering staff has integrity. New programs push the technology envelope.

Cons

You have to consciously manage your career or you can be pigeon-holed. Excellent senor management, mediocre mid-management (avoiding new processes).

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
