Pros

Opportunity to work on international projects, with interaction with counterparts, free pick & drop service. OT paid for extra work

Cons

Low job security, salary is on lower side for new employees whereas old employees with similar grade & profile make a killing. Employees are hired on contract & not on payroll

Pros

The company had some very qualified engineers and managers until the great recession adversely affected the company. If they get additional projects they may survive.

Cons

They should stick with what they do best. They should make better decisions about the government agencies they contract with.
