Didn't honor PTO - Data Scientist Castalia Systems Employee Review

Pros

Most people seemed happy (but they were mostly analysts being billed as data scientists and engineers). They did offer bereavement PTO to someone else though; that seemed really nice.

Cons

Arranged to have a large amount of PTO instead of salary for family needs. When it came around to using it, even though PTO was in writing per offer letter, PTO was not honored. Resigned with less than 3 months, I think.

Pros

Small company so less bureaucratic layers and hiring processes very much streamlined. Quick to be hired and put in contact with the prime contract contacts for easy onboarding. The position was in support of the U.S. Army and that aspect was also fantastic; great team and rewarding mission.

Cons

Non cons for this company. As with any small sub-prime government contracting company there is less resources or perks compared to a Booz Allen or a CACI type company, but I’d rather have ease of contact and quick processes as I got with Castalia.
