Pros

I was a software engineer for just over 3 years at TWS. For the most part they hired excellent people to work on the development teams. Developers such as myself and others had as good a relationship with some of our customers as the product owners who represented them. Several of us worked remote, and as such it fell in line with the company's core values such as creating work-life balance.

Cons

The company made a lot of empty promises. During the latter part of my time there I as well as many others were left with ongoing uncertainty as far as upper management was concerned. They rested their hopes on winning a small number of contracts.

Thank you to our former colleagues for posting their opinion on Glassdoor. Like all federal contractors making the jump from small business to the mid-tier, we face our challenges related to contract pursuit and hiring for the proper cultural fit. For job-seekers comfortable working in an entrepreneurial and unstructured environment who are interested in making a difference to our active duty troops and veterans, Three Wire is a company to consider. Consider the words of Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famed explorer of Antarctica, who posted the following help-wanted ad in 1913: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in event of success." This ad generated 5,000 responses for 27 positions. At Three Wire, we are looking for men and women that strive for success. Unlike Shackleton, we offer a competitive compensation plan and complete benefit package that is on par with companies of our size. Heating and lighting are also included.

Pros

If you're allowed, you can work flex time, but that's on a case by case basis. The programs are great for helping Veterans, and people in the Behavioral Health Space are tremendous. If you like working from home, that's a perk It's a great place to get experience, and go somewhere that will provide you access to fair compensation and career growth.

Cons

There is not too much inconsistency with the company decisions, A lot of bad decisions made at the top level have lead to layoffs throughout the past year on both sides of the business. Nepotism is supported from the top down, and if you're not a chosen one, you're out. They code their decisions saying "it's a case by case basis" which is discriminatory, and they're ok with it. Candidates don't get fair chances, favorites are chosen over others who may be more qualified. -This is obvious in the employees who are consistently featured in their SM posts, just take a look. Leadership just simply isn't qualified to be doing what they're doing, Aside from the layoffs, the turnover on one program was alarming, due to working in a stressful environment, with inadequate training and ridiculous requirements (you get no PTO for your first year, and cannot miss any days of training) . They will also pay employees less to maintain good profit margins for themselves on programs, and overall don't treat employees on programs with respect. The CFO is laughable, and honestly not in the right role for the company, same goes for the CEO-they could care less about employees or the programs they're running, as long as their money is coming through. They will cut employees, again, to protect their profit margins. The CFO actively ignored outrageous benefits costs for employees, buying into a plan that's absolutely horrible, but cheap. I'm talking $400-500 a pay premium cost for a high deductible family plan. with no wellness benefits. -Their own health insurance doesn't provide affordable access to mental health services.
