Cons
APS contract is extremely limited in what they can do and the growth opportunities are non existent. The communication from management is purposefully confusing and unclear and there is little to no feedback given. There is no one on the contract that can provide mentorship. They only promote their favorites and policies are very inequitably enforced.
Management had a hard time understanding the role the client wanted me to play. Job was massively impacted by change of administration. No mobility in the role.
