Pros

Supportive company culture (vice competitive) Good communications between major groups beyond EI&S Opportunities throughout US and some overseas sites Opportunities to transfer between major groups as appropriate (that is, you're not stuck in a particular type of task; if you have appropriate skills you can move to different lines of business)

Cons

Tight focus on Defense and Intelligence contracting Clearance requirements -- common to many Government and especially DoD/IC contractors Work dependent on competitive contracts -- procurement and renewal tension

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
