Incompetent Management!

Pros

Flexible working arrangements. Can often work from home several days a week. Interesting work on government contracts. Lots of work to do-never bored.

Cons

Management is clueless. There is no real communication because communication means talking and listening and this management just talks. They are blind to what is really going on and who is actually doing the hard work. They are more supportive of their subcontractors than their own employees. Management treats most team members as easily disposable and replaceable.

Pros

Can't think of one other than if you work for them you become one of them

Cons

HR can't make a decision, Management can't change the decision HR didn't make. Stupid policies prevent work from getting done

Pros

The company has a laid back, but professional environment. They provide very nice coffee and tea each day and tasty bagels on each Friday. There are many different projects with the potential to provide their employees with exposure to a variety of skillsets.

Cons

When projects end, there is not a lot of communication and their full-time employees are not always provided with other opportunities within the company.
