Pros

Salary Quarterly 'mini review' and Bonus They pay for parking Decent office coffee and tea Good location near metro Some assignments have good technology

Cons

small company - if you have any problems at all, it's difficult to recover as there is little room to go. they don't share enough details of the government contract so that you can prepare if the contract runs out. That might be by design - so that you don't leave in anticipation! If you are stuck in a fiefdom under a Manager/Director, there is little chance or option for remedying this. Small company but not a '8a, Small Disadvantaged Business' - so it's not as easy to get government contracts.

Pros

-One of the best 401(k) deals not matching but giving 8% -Don't have to worry about working past 5 pm / easy to separate work and life and plan vacations, etc -Though based on project, most managers are understanding of schedules and are flexible - Higher managers are approachable though I am not sure if they are paying attention to what the individual engineer has to say. -Own office -Frequent Bonuses. A con is that no one knows what these bonuses are based off of. -Most of the people you work with are very intelligent and helpful.

Cons

- No work from home policy, though some middle managers will work from home. You will have a manager tell you you cannot work from home when its snowing but that same manager will send an email saying "I am working from home today because it is snowing / someone is sick. You can get a hold of me via email or on my cell" - Engineers are not given freedom to install new software without getting permission from IT. This can make your project more difficult when your system does not have the adequate tools to complete a job but you must wait for someone to install new software / adjust a setting on your computer since you do not have the permission. - Projects are not exciting
