      Butts in seats and shell game personnel movements

      Pros

      Big defense contractor with opportunities throughout the federal and local governments. They can also boast having extreme engineering talent and work. For the federal side, if you are actively harboring relationships with the upstream management, they will always find an opportunity for you.

      Cons

      Being in the Florida / federal side of the house - it is unfortunate to say that most people are viewed as "butts-in-seats". Some folks belong to a "pocket-of-excellence", but that is by happenstance. Profits are derived by paying the employee the least amount of money possible and producing as much "busy" work as possible. (e.g. create a process under the banner of ITIL that requires twice as many people, or find reasons to increase the number of independent systems/networks under the banner of 'security')

      Horrible Practices

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None that I can think of....oh, yes, wait, the increase in the benefits costs for shrinking benefit plans so you don't have to pay so many taxes.

      Cons

      Management is stuck on themselves, they want to take all of the credit for work performed, however, when something isn't exactly right, it's your head that's going to roll. Management doesn't know the processes in place, but they are quick to tell you how easy something is to get done. Also, when they want you to leave so that they can save some money, they don't offer a severance package, they force you out through unwarranted performance reviews, memoranda of expectations and performance improvement plans. The same items will appear on them, even if they were one time minor mistakes that have been corrected. Also, when it's time to give out raises, they don't focus on what you did for them in the past year as they say, but what happened in the last two weeks. Horrible ethics. HR is a joke to try to address issues with.
