Fine first job

Pros

Competitive starting pay and retirement match. good mission (in theory). Great work life balance.

Cons

Lost a lot of respect for the company during the four years I worked there. Not much room for growth or change in salary. Everyone (management/ leadership) was better at making the work sound more important than actually doing important, long lasting, impactful work. But that’s often just consulting I suppose.

Pros

New management team (Mark, Brian etc.) are a huge improvement over the prior management team (Jason, etc.).

Cons

Multiple rounds of layoffs, induced by the funding conflicts in the current Congress, have been discouraging. Hopefully, the current "govt shutdown" does not cause further funding issues.
