going downhill fast

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

benefits, interesting work, good people, good mission, non-profit

Cons

retirement match falling behind national labs and competitors (e.g., Booz Allen). Major strategic mistake to downgrade DoD/IC work (~60% of work program, 90% of demand) in favor of groveling for VA, IRS, HHS work (so 2010s!). Staff uniformly hates corporate management; management thinks everyone loves them.
