Pros

-Competitive pay -Friendly Management -Relaxed Interview

Cons

-I never got the chance to work for this company. I interviewed for the GeoBase Software Developer position located on Langley AFB in Virginia. Everyone was really helpful and professional. My interview was conducted and went smoothly because I did not need to have any experience working with the applications they use. I received an offer the next day with a promise of a salary raise if I could get the CompTIA Security+ certification within 6 weeks of my start date. I accepted the offer and began the process of signing documents and speaking with the security manager to verify my clearance eligibility. This process took about 1-2 weeks. I was very excited as I had just completed my bachelor's degree in computer science and was looking forward to start work. Unfortunately, about 72 hours before my first day, I was contacted by the HR team and told that due to a change in qualifications and experience requirements for the position, they would have to rescind their offer to me. This was a shock because I had already declined offers from other potential employers for this position. The company seems great and the people seem great as well, I just wish I could have had the chance to work here.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
