Vantaggi
Firstly, there are a lot of negative reviews here that come from a small number of people. PSI is a great place to work but it’s definitely not a place for people who are not self-motivated.
You are not a number. Everyone relies on one another. The firm is transparent about their goals, and you have a say in how to achieve them. Many procedures in place are a result of engineers getting together and finding solutions.
If your goal is to work in DC, there’s loads of fun work.
Svantaggi
Growing. Pains. This company went from 0-100 well before the infrastructure was established. This has led to some frustrating management practices (or a lack thereof) as upper management has struggled to adapt. Sometimes this agency given to senior engineers becomes a scapegoat for implementing more or better management practices.
