Pros

Not too much different from other Govt. Contractors in many ways. Compensation is average, work is pretty standard, etc. Top Management started to be more physically "present" in recent couple of years and involved in Program Reviews and upcoming re-compete efforts, vowing to help from Corporate for large efforts.

Cons

Lots of talk but little actually that gets done that makes an impact. The idea to improve and help the operations is there but follow-through is weak and often felt left on a island alone to execute monumental tasks without the appropriate support. Also hire from outside a lot so moving up through ranks isn't exactly easy.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
