Pros

-Generally the WLB is very good. We work on a hybrid schedule with 3 days in office and 2 remote. -The people who work here are great. -Space Force client is pretty easy going and receptive to feedback. -The company values "go-getters" - you can try new things and management will generally back you up if you get into a corner. -Because turnover is so high - you can rise quickly in the company if you stand out and are known on the contract as a high performer. -Government job so it's about as safe as you are going to get in this economy. With all the re-orgs - management keeps everyone, even if their position is being eliminated, and puts them into a new role.

Cons

-Compensation is the lowest in Colorado Springs for Agile leaders. -Turnover is fairly high - it's hard to get things done because people are being shuffled around constantly to make ends meet. -Management is constantly restructuring teams which adds to the issues with turnover. -Working in a basement with no windows.

Pros

Amazing solid company, competitive salary.

Cons

Salaried employees must still account for their time by the hour and need to use PTO on weeks where work totals less than 40 hours (or choose to be paid less for that week).
