Pros
Not many. The HR folks were nice and helpful when I left. The Christmas party had good food and an open bar - you need to get through the vapid leadership speeches.
Cons
The small company I worked for was bought up by ECS Federal back in 2012. I (and pretty much everyone else with whom I've spoken) rue the day the announcement was made. ECS Federal is without a doubt one of, if not the worst companies I have ever had the displeasure to work for. Leadership makes a big production of caring about its employees but then offers average to below average salaries, benefits and work-life balance philosophy that is solely concerned with the bottom dollar than balance. The work is just that work. No effort is made for mentoring, guidance or career advancement. This is a butts in seats shop that has no idea what to do with or to retain experienced employees. There is no communication from leadership, no opportunities to move to more interesting work or advancement Just stay away. This place just sucks. Pure and simple they're not worth the headache.
