Pros

-Great benefits -Intelligent, hardworking coworkers -Opportunities for growth and networking -Good work-life balance as long as you're not trying to get promoted quickly -Good place to build skills to make you valuable elsewhere

Cons

-Competitive, dog-eat-dog environment if you want to climb the ladder -Clients can be extremely difficult and challenging to work with; hostile/abusive client environments are tolerated for the sake of making money -Required to help with business development but not compensated for doing so on top of your required client hours, so it often falls on weekends -Soul-sucking work if you want to make a real impact in the world - it won't happen here -Major nepotism culture when it comes to promotions and lateral movements to better contracts - if you're not in with the right people, you're out

Pros

Love the passionate smart people. Flexibility - I can go to an office but there’s no requirement, so I get to travel + work remotely a lot within the continental US.

Cons

We follow the money and federal policy. Our projects aligned with the Biden administration before, now they sympathize more with Trump’s voting base. Also pay is below industry average and office culture varies GREATLY between offices.
