Pros

They try to "promote" a "good" culture, if you're male and love the "bro" culture then absolutely. Free beer!! Decent benefits.

Cons

Never actually on vacation, flexibility is only for some of the dev shops not federal side. Very poor HR team, leadership is all over the place. Very poor work environment and no real interest in employee's work/life balance. Criticism is rarely helpful, it's mean spirited and aggressive. Once a mistake is made, it will never leave and it will then determine the trajectory of your career. CEO is aggressive, harsh, hostile and abusive. Women developers are either targeted sexually or basically called ugly and completely dismissed, there's no in between. It's all a good ole boy system and the leadership is greatly lacking in vision and long term sustainability. The development pool is only so large in Arkansas, pretty soon you'll run out of decent talent to run off.

Broken promises, management and leadership

Pros

. Hours can be adjustable . Projects are interesting . Occasional lunch, snacks, beer, etc. . Macbook provided . Some good devs

Cons

. Sometimes promises made to client without asking devs, or devs assigned to work on tasks they're not comfortable on, resulting in an chaotic work day . To maximize profit, the company doesn't drop problematic clientele enough . Not clear or non-existant policies, poor training, managers/leads have different expectations . Paid rate varies even between employees with same job, benefits not great . Little chance for raise or promotion . Bro culture . Depending on where you are, workspace is tight squeeze and sometimes messy

Typical DoD contractor

Pros

Pretty steady work, very supportive program manager, when contract ends I'll probably be picked up by the next contractor bandit.

Cons

No chance of decent raise, no promotion possibilities, meager insurance with few other benefits, expensive and poorly-performing 401K plan.
