Pretty Stable

Pros

Great benefits which include retirement benefits.

Cons

Role based training minimal. Training for job minimal. Promotions hard to come by. Often leadership will say something one day and the next day go in a total different direction. Hard to feel confident about what we are told.

Pros

Unless in DOD/Intel space, much flexibility in working

Cons

Leadership changes its mind frequently, following fads and then killing what it started. There has been no discussion of preparations for a possible and imminent government shutdown. Incentives for senior managers and leaders (VP) drive short-term and parochial behaviors that may not be in sponsor’s best interests

Pros

The work is interesting and the staff in the trenches are a joy to work with.

Cons

The Executive Level Team is comprised of narcissistic sociopaths whose only talent is political survival, which helps them and no one else.
