Good work-life balance due to 9/80 schedule and decent benefits.

Understaffing causes heavy workload for extended months resulting in burnout. Poor COVID handling--made employees come back to the office only to have 100% virtual meetings.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
