Company with diminishing future .. though still pays well
Pros
- One of the better paymasters in the DC area - Still has overall good benefits - though they are going away quickly over the years - Location of offices in Northern VA, MD, DC offer multiple commute choices if your manager allows - Fairly decent technology environment and remote working capabilities
Cons
- Upper executive management over the years have been replaced with Wall Street execs with less than ideal values and culture - Lack of commitment to the firm from most of the top executives who have been commuting weekly from out of town for over 5 years - Short-term focus (and hence lack of focus) - Sense of mission purpose is no longer clear - Politically motivated - does not operate like a "real" firm from a financial or results perspective - Unqualified leadership (by experience and domain expertise) at both the executive and middle-management levels - Go-along mentality is more a success criteria rather than results - Core IT services have been outsourced, it was a disaster and it's getting worse - Morale at the working staff level is "low"
