Pros
Pay was competitive for the area, good benefits at first though they had been changing as time went by not for the best.
Cons
Federal contractor. If you are on a project with a long term contract, you are fine. Work is challenging and you are given opportunities to grow. If you're on a project that is lost and awarded to another contractor, lay off. Regardless of your seniority or performance over other employees in similar roles on other contracts. I was on vac when i was called and told I was laid off after 23 years. Fair warning, there is no severance. build up your vacation time as that is what will serve as any severance. Notice in lieu of severance is the favorite term of HR.
