Vantaggi
Mid-sized company that is family-owned so they have a vested interest in your success and they truly care about their employees. Very approachable at the top levels. Fewer approval layers so less red tape. Encouraged to think outside the box to work more effectively and efficiently. Employees, for the most part, all get along famously and are very helpful across the various departments/divisions. HR makes the effort to build and maintain employee morale. Good pay and benefits. Fast-paced work environment so not for the faint of heart but this is a government contracting company so you have to move at the client's pace and not yours. Interesting that a good number of former employees who complained the loudest, have either returned to the company or have attempted to return.
Svantaggi
Some of the pros work against them. Because it's a mid-sized company, some positions don't offer room for growth since the number of jobs is limited - but just the nature of the beast. Encouraged to think outside the box but those not comfortable outside the box are usually those who also resist change and turn it into a negative. Fast-paced environment not for everyone.
