Pros

Easy Interview. Many of the co-workers are nice people.

Cons

I graduated as an electrical engineer and was working as a systems engineer. During my 8 months at the company, I never got to work on any real electrical or design task for which I was hired. Most of the time I was working on Excel sheet organizing data. After 8 months they terminated me after asking me to get a driving license within two weeks. Driving license was mentioned in job requirements when I had applied but I had informed the manager that I did not have a US driving license when I started working. They did not inform me anytime within the previous 7-8 months to get a driving license. After getting the license in little over two weeks, I asked them if I could start working again. They replied by saying that we will be terminating your current employment but you are encouraged to apply to other suitable position in the company.

Pros

* Excels at compiling optimal employee benefit options considering skyrocketing medical insurance costs * Management is reasonably flexible, yet firm with regards to government contract agreements, security and safety awareness.

Cons

Could Better Maximize: EMPLOYEE => Morale, Productivity, Ambition, Effectiveness the sum of which translates to MAXIMIZED CONTRACT PERFORMANCE (Synergistic Relationships, Morale, Productivity, Effectiveness, *RATING*) EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE = contract fulfillment + accomplishments + overall impact to mission/organization + (attitude + aptitude + drive) COMPANY/CONTRACT/DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE = sum(EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE)
