Horribly Managed

Pros

Money is good. Benefits aren't bad. Environment is typically relaxed. Outside of the operations department it's a good environment with many chances to advance.

Cons

Mandatory overtime. Horrible management. Managers actively dismiss employee's concerns and well being. It's normal for employees to work 12 hour shifts for a month straight with no days off. For the past few years 60+ hour work weeks have been standard. If someone calls out they assign others mandatory overtime and 16 hour shifts. If the individual doesn't work it it's documented as a no call no show. Managers refuse to accommodate employees schedules even if resources are available. They just remind you that the job states abnormal shifts and dismiss you. Something as simple as switching off days with a coworker for one weekend is denied. Managers are familiar with the positions and micromanage constantly. If they're in a bad mood they'll investigate the activities of that day until they can find someone to write up.

Pros

* Fantastic array of leading-edge research projects in a wide variety of technical areas: very strong in cybersecurity, wireless networking, and cyber-physical security * The best colleagues in the business! There is very little in the way of politics, back-stabbing. Almost everyone is helpful and friendly. * Perspecta Labs is the "jewel in the crown" of the Perspecta company and is treated as such with the company. Perspecta is a growing publicly traded company with a bright future. There is much untapped potential in transitioning research from the Labs to the larger company. * Flexible working hours are a major benefit of working at the Labs.

Cons

* Pay is not as high as in other companies or fields for a similarly qualified person. * There is a lot of pressure on senior technical staff to pursue and win business opportunities. Just being strong technically can only get you so far. * Limited room for promotion due to the flat structure and smallish size of the Labs. * Even though hours are flexible they are invariably long for in-demand/strong technical staff and managers. The organization is very project driven and life outside of work can suffer when project deadlines converge.
