      Pros

      Really not many in the federal sector.

      Cons

      This place is a good old boys club in disguise. They haven’t given raises since 2014, they rarely promote employees (unless in the inner circle), and they let people leave so they don’t have to pay severance. There is zero training and everyone tries to pass the buck to other teams because they don’t know the company or their roles. Sales is a mismanaged disaster who only care about dollar signs and will toss you under the buss in a minute.

      Pros

      work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

      Cons

      No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
