Vantaggi
- There are a few good Leaders there. Not many, but a few. - Most "Worker Bees" are nice and generally pretty smart. - Lots of opportunities if you're in a field that is "HOT" right now. - They have a "Bench" for you to sit on in between contracts. - Benefits were okay. Medical was decent. - Provides employees with opportunities to interface and network with folks in the Federal Government, which could potentially result in a Federal Job with both a Pension and 401K.
Svantaggi
- Some Leaders in Middle Management are terrible and personally vindictive. A lot of them lack vision and are not very bright. But, then again, I guess that's why they're in Middle Management. - If you're not bringing in money (i.e., business / contracts), they will let you go, especially for people in Leadership positions (Senior Associate and above). - Their organizational hierarchy is a mess and poorly structured, which they're changing constantly at the top. - If you're at a high enough level, they'll assign you to be a "Career Manager" for someone without compensation for the extra responsibility. - Their intranet is atrocious and often out of date. - If you're in a niche field, expect to struggle to find work if what you do is not "in fashion" right now. - If you're starting out, negotiate for a higher salary. They will take advantage of recent grads, which will determine your salary for years to come. - Their "401K" matching might look nice on first glance, but they do it annually, so you don't get the compound interest that other 401Ks do in almost every other reputable business, particularly their competitors. - Every quarter they report and brag about record profits, but somehow the premiums for Medical and Dental keep going up.
