Pros

Easy commute to Poway, not like having to drive to a traffic heavy area.

Cons

It's a government contractor. If you like/don't mind working for one, you'll do just fine here. If you come from the private sector, it's unlikely you'll be able to relate.

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.
