Great people; average compensation

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Quite competent technical teams in general; management fair and doesn't micro-manage. Flexible schedules, challenging work, unreasonable year-end deadlines but program management does their best to provide support. Very nice empoyee break area with cold water, ice, great coffee and tea. Middle management works hard to create a sense of unity amongst teams.

Cons

Cross displinary team communication and priorities are at odds. Salaries are on the low side for the industry and area. The physical work space is horrendous; such low unpadded walls that all conversations carry. No cube chairs for visitors so they must stand and disturb everyone in the immediate area when having a technical discussion.

Horrible you are only good as the contract last

Senior adex engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary was higher than the average

Cons

You are only as good as the contract once the contract is over you are gone. Unless you are one of their chosen people. Good old boys mentality. Not what you know it is who you know. Lot of ass kissing required especially to their customers. The mamangement is awol when you have a conflict with the client. You are as the engineer a sitting duck management will throw you in front of the bus inn hearth beat. HR Sucks they have the worst HR in the US. They never there if you need them to ask about your benefits etc. But they are very quick to point out if there is any discrepacy in your records or application etc. I would never work for them or recommend them to any of my friends.
