We are very appreciative of your taking the time to let us know that you appreciated the small company feel of our company, the quality of your colleagues, and our benefits. We also recognize that there is always room for improvement in the ways in which we communicate with employees. Please also know that we have added several members of senior management to the team and they are making a difference. Thank you very much for the contributions that you made as a Pragmatics employee.

Pros

A learning experience in what to avoid for your next job. Great location with the metro a short walk along the side of the road.

Cons

Unfortunately, their best days are clearly behind them and it's palpable from the moment you drive into the empty parking lot. Their COVID policy was a complete joke publishing one set of guidelines on their website and twitter while allowing management to boast of multiple people crammed into a single shared office space and sending emails asking anyone COVID+ "how contagious are you?" in an attempt to coax staff back into the office. The nature of the work being performed did NOT require a physical presence in the office, it was merely the preference of leadership. Although, to be fair, the company generously allowed us to telework full time during mandatory lockdowns. Since you cannot judge a company by one pandemic, here's a summative list: high amount of turnover in a short period of time of ‘c level’ leadership, overhead roles made to take on billable work in addition to regular assignments, discouraging reasonable accommodations, and pay not at all in line with the rest of the National Capital Region.

We greatly appreciate your taking the time to provide valuable feedback on your experience at Pragmatics. Please know that Pragmatics makes reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). COVID certainly presented government contractors, including Pragmatics, with the need to make changes to work rules such as remote work. Pragmatics is committed to continue to improve in the areas that are within the company’s control. Thank you for letting us know that you were pleased that you were allowed to work remotely.

Pros

If you take any position here remember that it’s only worth getting your security clearance and some “report-like” writing experience. Most of the people are really nice.

Cons

Don’t expect to learn much while there. The company doesn’t have much to offer regarding promotions or do they rarely encourage innovative solutions. Very old school mentality “this is just how it’s done” with little to no written guidance.
