Pros

We're a family here. Everyone is equally important regardless of title. I enjoy coming to work and seeing my coworkers, who I consider friends. We have fun while getting the job done. Everyone helps each other reach the common goal. Hours and telework can be flexed when necessary and that keeps a good work/life balance. We're growing and have high hopes for the future. Nice benefits in a time when many companies are scaling back due to higher costs.

Cons

Only con is I feel the starting salaries are a bit low for the cost of living in the D.C. area. But enjoying my job and coworkers is paramount, so accepting lower pay was worth it. It's a personal choice the prospective employee will have to weigh based on their own situation and values.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Our employees are so important to us at OBXtek, they make us the company that we are. I am glad to know that recognition reaches our employees at every level. We have indeed grown very quickly which has presented its challenges. As we grow we continue to learn how to develop our business and work with our employees by promoting internally to expand and capture more contracts as we do so. Thank you for your contributions to all that we do. -CEO

Pros

I went from a very bad work situation to working for OBXtek. The difference was night and day. Better work-life balance, less stress and needless headache. I can honestly say this is the best company I have worked for in the last 20 years. Internal promotions are common.

Cons

It's government contracting. Not everything goes perfectly. Every contract is not a bed of roses. Rapid growth sometimes leaves support systems lagging. What I do see is that management is aware of issues and will directly involve themselves trying to correct things.

We are the company we are because of the people we employ. After all, “Our People, Our Reputation” is not merely a line for us, we truly believe it is the core of who we are as a company. It is for that reason that we try to provide our employees with the work environment, flexibility, and benefits to retain valuable employees like you. Thank you. We are vigilantly working to address issues that have come as a result of our rapid expansion, and appreciate our employees for working with us to achieve new heights. -CEO
