Pros

They hire the best. My coworkers were top-notch and I miss working with them. Though they are a government contractor, you are hired as an employee and not to a specific contract. That means if the contract goes away you aren't necessarily out of a job and they do their best to keep their people. Some senior and middle management were great.

Cons

The lack of breadth and depth of the contracts they had combined with government cuts meant that even though they tried to keep people employed, they were facing the hard task of letting people go. They were working to rectify this and I believe they'll get it balanced. I didn't see much in the way of opportunities for career advancement. Some senior and middle management weren't so great.

Pros

I was at Carney for a while, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best places I’ve worked. The leadership team genuinely cares about employees, and there’s a real sense of collaboration here. The culture is supportive, and work-life balance is respected. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, but without micromanagement. If you’re self-motivated and enjoy working on interesting projects with smart, driven people, this is the place to be. Like any company, there are challenges, but leadership is always open to feedback and actively works to make things better. Overall, a great company with great people!

Cons

Not necessarily cons for Carney, but they are a federal contractor which means we have to deal with federal people who sometimes are difficult. My work was remote which I like, but means I only got to see people on Teams or when there are socials every few months. As a small company, they don't have as many formal processes that I was used to from larger organizations.

Pros

Flexibile work schedule, no micromanagement and you are encouraged to do your job, some remote opportunities, good healthcare plan options, internal company leave donation program.

Cons

Limited opportunity for upward mobility or growth, a slow-growing PTO system when first starting with the company, with no room to negotiate.
