Pros

Good Benefits! 401k match is really good. Healthcare is not expensive (I’m single). They will pay for you to further your education. PTO and sick leave is very good. Managers are flexible with your time.

Cons

The culture is mundane & this place lacks diversity in employees. There is no person of color in upper management. The work is research based so its a lot of reading and writing documents. Because it’s a nonprofit and state government funded there are limitations on what the company can do for its employees in terms of moral boosting activities. If you’re looking for a company that’s modern, fun and looks after its employees stay away from here. Promotion is based off experience and education experience.

Pros

Great team at the Smyrna Office, Specifically ATAS. You have ownership over the process and create the protocols and procedures which felt very empowering. The work environment healthy and you can have a balance in life. The company also is very engineer biased which is fine but that ruins team cohesion at times. Also lord forbid you be a new hire and a project is cancelled well buddy no job for you!!

Cons

The job is not stable as it is dependent on contracts and their extensions, this is the reason why I was unable to go full time. Also due to past negligence a lot of the job is fixing other peoples problems. Also your work day can either be slow or very fast. Also at times it felt you were punished for completing work timely as priorities would change.
