Pros
Echoing similar reviews below, I think the firm before January was an excellent place to be for working on interesting citizen projects meant to help our clients and the American people. Wealth of talented and seasoned technical SMEs along with friendly personalities made coming to work either hybrid or remote a joy. Parental leave was also decent for working mothers as well as better flexibility than some of our competitors.
Cons
Leadership communication has been dismal since the government began contract reductions due to EOs and DOGE. In April for the new FY, the bench which had been historically ok enough to hold people for a few months is now shutting people off corporate systems with a day of notice off a project. Severance is a joke and no one is happy with our executive leadership team and how they are embracing techno fascism in our Executive Office. They have lost most good will they had from their worker bees in this process and will lose great people to big tech and non-government jobs in the months to come.
