Our efforts focus on placing our employees (management or otherwise), whether on client projects or corporate functions, in positions that meet their individual career goals and job requirements. We aspire to find that match for each employee and to treat all employees with respect in the process. While I cannot respond to your specific experience, we have a solid track record of moving management employees to other positions within the company. We do have an open-door policy and if you have specific issues you feel we should address, I encourage you to speak with myself, human resources, or our CEO.

Pros

They try. When they think they have talent, or employees with potential business development prospects, they'll go an extra yard or two to keep that employee. Perks are generally good but highly dependent upon whether you're a corporate employee or out working on a contract. They try to host company parties and picnics and try to make employees working contracts feel like they're more than just a number. In better times they put a good amount of money into overhead and work hard to provide training and advancement opportunities.

Cons

They're the wrong size. They think they're competitive with SAIC. They don't understand that money is not a motivator, and that taking it (or benefits) away is a great de-motivator.

While I may not be able to directly address your specific concerns I thought it may be useful to mention how we approach some of the issues you describe. Our employees support a large range of customer IT projects from large software development teams to 24x7 service desk operations. These projects are supported from locations from coast to coast at both company and client locations and as a result individual experiences can vary. To help address this we empower our local managers at all locations to host local events. While training needs may vary we provide hundreds of on-line courses through SkillPort. We also budget and provide more traditional classroom training on a case by case basis. We look to continuously improve in these areas. Having our staff, regardless of location or project, feel connected to the company and having access to needed resources such as training is a chief concern. At our size in that we have the feel of a small company where management is readily available and the infrastructure of a mid-size company. While we recently made some adjustments to our benefits package we remain competitive with industry benchmark standards for organizations of our size with in the GovCon industry.

Pros

Basic benefits, some of the older senior managers no longer there

Cons

Where do I start.... SHADY practices that will eventually lead to that companies demise. Stay way. They don't value anyone. Many people lost their clearances. Clueless department that has no idea how to manage clearances, which are GOLD in the DC area. Let lots of clearances expire on people and screwed them royally.

Hi, I would like to chat with you about your experience. I am concerned that you feel there are "shady" practices . We are committed to corporate standards that are both ethical and legal. I would also like to understand where our security processes may have let you down.
