Pros
The line workers and line managers are great. The office has plenty of light. There are occasional potlucks and birthday celebrations. There are massage chairs.
Cons
No raises (not even COLA), no bonuses. I was doing proposal work, where there is traditionally a token bonus for a win - not at VIP. The company has NO loyalty toward its employees - I was laid off as soon as they hired someone with questionable skills, but who was younger, cheaper, and not disabled, despite my manager opposing the change. They instituted flex-PTO, where the days off are theoretically unlimited, but there is no accumulated PTO to be carried on the books. And theoretically unlimited PTO depends on getting permission to be out - permission that is frequently denied. Upper management is terrible and doesn't listen to middle management.
