Pros

They'll hire anyone so that's a bonus. They won't let a billet go unfilled so unqualified people get opportunities easy. If you fib on your resume, you won't be vetted so it's worth the risk.

Cons

Financially, they do value paper degrees more than real world experience. If you have 10+ years of experience and no degree, good luck making more than a kid with a degree and no skills. They'll just dangle 4% raise in front of you while you do most the work while the kids with college degrees are lost in the work. The company is posturing to be purchased so that's why they rebranded the name to SMX and filling positions as fast as possible with unqualified people. Don't join for the long haul. Get in, get out. Once SMX gets purchased, who knows what will happen? Benefits are not the greatest or cheapest. I am a single income family with 2 kids. We struggled with the benefits. Program managers are merely therapists to listen to employee complaints. Nothing actionable comes from your input up the chain. HR is extremely woke, like most HR these days. If you are a white man, stay off their radar. You're guilty without a doubt.

Pros

Yearly raises are a plus

Cons

Worked for SMX almost 3 years on a contract and was so disconnected. Before the contract ended all upper management went ghost. Was told by HR we would move to internal positions and never got calls backs or even interviews for positions we were more than qualified for. They hired outside the company.

Pros

Matching 401K Respects Work/Life Balance Broad list of projects Wide geographic area of coverage Does a great job on employee out-reach via special sessions throughout the year.

Cons

Going through growing pains. Upper management is as accessible to the workforce as one might like. HR things are a bit disorganized.
