Pros

I had to transition companies in 2012 when I was as contractor supporting NEA-SCA. I had a better experience with OBXtek than my previous company, thankfully. While my Project Manager was quite busy and we played phone tag on occasion, when we got a hold of each other she never sounded rushed and always gave me her full attention/assistance. (Since then, her team has grown to assist with the workload.) Other than my PM, the various departments I was in contact with on an as-needed basis (HR, Payroll, and Travel) were always responsive to my emails/calls. The Travel POC was especially helpful and patient when I returned from TDY to Afghanistan and was even more swamped/pressed for time than before. The company went through some growing pains, as any company would, but adjusted and now offers more to its employees (automated travel system, more benefits options, etc).

Cons

As I mentioned in the "Pros" section, it was sometimes difficult to get a hold of my PM and we would play phone tag. That was a "con", but her team has grown since then, which was the solution! Also mentioned in the "Pros" section, the company went through some growing pains, which really isn't a con, but was confusing at times (pin down proper POC for something, etc). They adjusted, though, and it isn't an issue anymore from what I can tell.

Pros

Small companies that grow to large (by fed gov standards) in such a short period of time are pretty rare. OBXtek is one of those rare ones. Having been around fed contracting for nearly 20 years I've never seen a place where people can grow as fast as they do at OBXtek. in the past three years I have seen business analysts become project managers and I have seen project managers become VP's.

Cons

The Pro comment has to to clarified with a note that OBXtek managers don't always (or ever) have a plan for you besides whatever you're working on this week. The HR and other corporate people never seem to be totally on top of anything. That being said the HR people are way, way more professional now than when I first started.
