Lost Its Way

Pros

Important projects for our nation and the world. Good 401K match.

Cons

Bad project staffing (favoritism not what’s best for sponsor). You basically have to “apply” for a new internal job to get staffed on a project. Culture died under last CEO and new CEO can’t change it with VPs enabling old ways. Low pay and slow promotions for most people. Rested on its name but forgot to be the force it used it be pushing sponsors for innovation instead of placating them.

Pros

Good colleagues. Management seems to care more than other contractor-like companies.

Cons

Decline in opportunity under severely cut federal funding (FFRDCs have been hit hard). Company is contracting, not growing. Long-term changes in prioritized work (less enjoyable R&D, feels more consultant-like). Constant stress of finding enough project work to remain fully booked. Work-life balance vanishes for higher-level positions. Lower relative pay.
