Pros

Lots of legacy systems to learn on Tons of CLI experience on cisco and juniper Experience with KGs (INEs) CLI on Cisco and Juniper routers and switches Out of band management experience SecureCRT experience ISE Experience Cradlepoint experience Catalyst Center experience Call manager experience CUCA and CUCM SDWAN experience powershell scripting this job is good for someone wanting to level up into a junior network engineering role because it teaches you so much govcio isn't the primary so you get paid less than digitalconsultant workers

Cons

very high learning curve due to the sheer number and types of systems supported contract might be gone by the end of 2026 low compensation compared to similar roles no overtime no upfront PTO or additional benefits on date of hire non-negotiable salary other roles in the same contract pay more
