My favorite place to work

Pros

Great team of people to work with and for. Flexible hybrid work schedule Manager provides me autonomy allowing me to do my best work but advises wisely and supportively when I need guidance. Their holiday party has been a highlight every year.

Cons

Not really a con but we're a growing company, expanding our family of companies and with that comes change and some growing pains with reorganizations amongst us. Some may find the changes frustrating, difficult or disappointing but it's all about attitude and staying positive. The cons are rare but when they come up staying positive mitigates them.

Once a Great Place to Work, But Leadership Failed Us

Pros

FSI offered great benefits and hosts fun company events.

Cons

I used to love working here. The company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and a team that truly cared about the work we did. Unfortunately, everything changed when Accelint took over. Instead of a smooth transition, we were left in the dark about the company’s future. When the new leadership continuously told us to “forget about our companies” while providing little transparency about what was actually happening to the company, our jobs, and out benefits. Morale dropped significantly when layoffs started happening randomly, especially among internal staff. There was no clear strategy, just uncertainty and fear. This company had the potential to remain a great place to work, but poor leadership decisions during the transition completely eroded trust. If you’re considering a job here, be aware of the instability and lack of support from leadership.

Pros

Great culture focused on solving challenging engineering problems, and amount of long-term employees who have seen internal career growth has created a high trust environment. Significant recent growth.

Cons

Will need to sustain creativity and think in new ways to adapt to changing DoD environment.
