Great company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great company that really support staff, the salary is good

Cons

living and working overseas with a directive that you can not socialize with anyone on the base you work on is insane and leads to burnout and poor work life balance. Some of the school counselors are horrible to work with, the daycare centers can be really tough to work in, expect to get sick a lot,

Business Outlook

Pros

flexibility to work at home and some very bright, motivated people. another dimension to add to the resume. generous amount of paid leave.

Cons

Its pedal to the metal all the time. While you may have a lot of paid leave, you can never take it. Insides call PTO - pretend time off. Some of the business units are dysfunctional and lack a clear direction. Followers instead of leaders. Raises and bonuses are almost non-existent while the leadership is publicized as receiving huge stock options.
