CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Provides an excellent culture to develop analytical skills in a team environment. The company truly values its employees far more than the average consulting firm. Benefits and retirement plans are excellent.

Business Outlook

Pros

Limitless opportunities to learn valuable skills if you are self-motivated. The work can be as interesting as you make it. Plenty of room for experimentation if you prove yourself capable.

Cons

Not a lot of support or teamwork. You will likely have to be a one woman/man show. You will be met with a lot of opposition from other groups and this can be frustrating. Be prepared to argue (this could be a pro for some people). You will find this job frustrating if you are a perfectionist.

Great Company with Good Growth Potential

Cost analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best benefits you will find. Strong work/life balance with the government. Great training program for junior analysts. They have hiring down to a science. Don't always hire to fill a void. They invest in their strongest performers.

Cons

Mainly government contracts which are always recompeted meaning uncertainty for future work and can sometimes limit pay (but generally in line with the GS pay scale). Initial pay is a little low but there are large raises early on.
