Pros

Paid well for this position.

Cons

Benefits are so very expensive that it would break the bank totaling $30k/yr for full Family coverage. The benefits are high deductible as well. Fallback position to move people to other contracts is not implemented. It is a dog eat dog at contract time. Cobra is so expensive and just like the difficulty with benefits while working, it took a month without medical care to get benefits.

DCS Corp Response

As an employee-owned company, DCS Corporation values and encourages transparent communication and employee feedback. We would like to clarify that the medical insurance rates recently referenced are not accurate. The rates in question appear to be based on COBRA pricing for a separated employee, which is managed externally and not within DCS’s control. In reality, the actual employee medical insurance rates are less than one-third of the figures cited and fall well within industry benchmarks.

Pros

Solid work-life balance. I rarely worked late and all of my projects had distant deadlines. The projects I worked on were pretty relaxed and informal, i.e. a client would ask for support on some project and I'd provide it, no code reviews, agile boards, etc.

Cons

The pay increase schedule is a fairly generous annual adjustment (5-6%) but there's no pay bump for title changes so that's all you get. Additionally, the culture of my team at least didn't really promote career growth or skill learning. My manager gave me a lot of freedom to work as independently, but the tradeoff of that is that I didn't gain experience with code reviews, stand-ups, Agile, etc. Not as important if you already have a lot of experience under your belt but something to consider for a junior engineer.
