      Pros

      Great company to work for. Very much focused on diversity and work-life balance.

      Cons

      Smaller companies tend to expect employees to wear many different hats to accomplish a combined task or goal.

      Young company with growth opportunities for staff

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Small non-profit with interesting mission servicing national security and Virginia Tech Competitive salaries for non-profit; great benefits Convenient location near metro and many of its clients - I very much enjoy working with clients that are scientists and engineers themselves which keeps me up on state of the art tech - The management values initiative and they seem to really want to hear, respect, and consider my ideas - Never a dull day on the job...very dynamic due to the small size and diversity of clients - Room for staff to grow vertically (title/responsibility) and horizontally (collaboration, technical skills, project types) - Even though they are a gov contractor, I feel secure in my job because they have several large, long term contracts and they value their staff over profit

      Cons

      It’s a young company still trying to figure itself out and earn the respect of its big brothers. Sort of like a startup, with all the pros (above) and cons (below) that come with it. - lacks some of the infrastructure of larger companies such as a well resourced IT department - atmosphere/morale can be easily swayed in the small company (one bad apple...)
