Pros

Management and Human Resources is always communicating with contractors. I never felt "out of the loop" even when working off-site. My Program Manager issued consistent office hours where I could contact them and speak candidly about any challenges I was experiencing either personally or professionally. Even during a turbulent time for our contract, my Program Manager was always available for questions, concerns, and reassurance. I never felt forgotten or left behind. The transparency within this company is fantastic. Surprisingly, despite the constant communication from overhead, management never felt overbearing. I never felt micromanaged or viewed with condescension. When first offered a position with OBXtek, the recruiter offered me MORE than my salary requirement; which was a huge surprise. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Cons

Any "cons" I can think of more so have to do with the particular contract I was a part of than OBXtek as a company. I cannot think of a single thing to complain about. I very much enjoyed my employment with OBXtek.

One of the best small contracting firms in DC.

Pros

I've worked at 5 contracting companies in DC, and I can say that OBXtek is one of the best. They are always up front about the option year transition, which is great for peace of mind. I travel a lot and their process is very straight forward and convenient. Pay levels are above average, and they have been flexible with leave and telework options.

Cons

I wish the offered Metro SMART benefits, but many of their contracts are out of the DC area. They are a relatively young company, so certain policies and SOPs change more often than I'd like.
