      Minority Candidates Stay Away

      Facility security officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Quarterly Bonuses are great. The owner/CEO is a great guy. Really is trying to run a top notch program.

      Cons

      This company is not good, if you are a minority. There is no elevation at the same pace there is for Caucasian counterparts. Most importantly, there was just blatant disrespect for the minority employees in the Arlington office, from the SECURITY leadership. Like I told the owner when I abruptly resigned because of the mistreatment, “you are a great guy, and this is a great place to work, IF YOU ARE NOT A MINORITY!” Since leaving, I have had one employee call the security guard force and tell them essentially I am a threat, and proceed without caution. I have had my social media stalked by my former supervisor. Amongst other things. Good company, but again, minority candidates, please proceed with caution.

      Gossip Town

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working on interesting projects for the government Smart and well educated people

      Cons

      Management is incapable of separating bad apples from good ones. There are some really toxic people along with intelligent rock stars. The CEO sides with the loudest but toxic ones that deliberately appear to be reasonable. Dishonest management hiding truth.

      Not a place to grow

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -nice location with ample parking -pay and benefits are competitive for the area -coworkers are highly intelligent and often more than willing to help -work is unique and interesting -flexible WFH policy -clear processes for most things despite being a small company -if you have experience in this field or have worked in defense previously, you will most likely succeed

      Cons

      -no clear advancement path -work instructions often unclear with an accepted culture than management is too busy to help -technical leadership lacks people skills -lack of effort to match an employee's skills to a program or provide them the tools they need to succeed -not an empowering environment -feedback limited to annual reviews, depriving employees of a chance to improve -inconsistent management between teams and departments, with some managers being highly hands-on and others mostly absent -diversity is improving but still mostly limited to associate level -work-life balance can be tough when most employees work many extra hours
