Remote work with a toxic boys' club culture

Spec writer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.

Pros

The work itself can be interesting. Nice supporting our great countrys Navy.

Cons

Parking, Work life balance, Management, Insurance cost, No coffee. Kind of surprised they had tiolet paper you could use. Break room completely empty of anything, no coffee, no plastic forks no nothing. But they waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on some of these IT projects.
