Pros

Easy to coast. Pay was exceptional, time off was unrivaled, and retirement was unbelievable -- finding another job with equivalent compensation was incredibly difficult. My coworkers and direct supervisor were genuinely great.

Cons

All cons are specific to the Huntsville Alabama office, as far as I can tell. If I had worked in Atlanta, I think my experience would have been significantly different. Easy to coast. Healthcare wasn't great. There was a lack of meaningful work. In the interview I was led to believe I would be working on projects that I simply never got to work on. I ended up working on projects I explicitly stated -- in the interview -- that I did not want to work on. Upper management is a complete mess. It might just be because of COVID, but management either always had unrealistic expectations, or they never properly communicated their expectations.

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.
