Pros

-Competitive pay -Decent benefits -Competitive 401k matching

Cons

-Draconian 'good old boys' mentality about everything -Office workers are now expected to be fully onsite; We sit in Teams meetings at our desks all day -Very low amount of vacation -Removed overtime policy; Now expected to work up to 6 hours a week for free -VERY behind on technology adoption -Open office plan -9hr day minimums plus commuting make work life balance near impossible for somebody with kids or medical care responsibilities. -They barely spend any money to train employees; I worked here over a year without any training in 75% of the tools I was expected to use on a weekly basis. -The US govt as a customer creates a strange customer arrangement that resembles a hostage negotiation for getting even the simpliest information or feedback on a project. -If you dont subject yourself to the VERY invasive SF86 Secret clearance process, you wont ever get far here.

Pros

Both pay and benefits were good.

Cons

Both Management and the Union need to be overhauled. Union has too many dead beets working there and too many stupid rules to boot. Kinda like a Good ol' boys theme. Management is clueless, they like to fly by the seat of their pants. When things go wrong ( and that's usually always) they are quick to put the blame on the Employee. A lot of cut throats there, you have to watch your back constantly. Stay away if possible!!!
