Pros
1) They have some good middle management that's enthusiastic and the place can seem fun for people just out of college or grad school, or the military. 2) You can make friends here, 3) The money isn't bad - but not amazingly good either 4) You'll find good people working here, but their goodness is drowned out by the hype and B.S. of having to win government contracts
Cons
1) They over-hype everything. It's more like a cult than a job. They won't accept that CSA is just a job. The only people that advance are the ones that are constantly thinking about the company 24/7/365. If you work here and don't feel that way, just be quiet do your job, and let everyone around you act that way while reminding yourself to keep your sanity. 2) There's no reward for going over and above to help the company. Just do your job and get your responsibilities done on time and you'll do fine. I helped win several government contracts and did it in my off time, and there was no reward, not even a "thank you." I should have gotten a bonus, but they didn't do it. 3) The owner, Brian K. Lebeau Sr., also known as "bickles," a play on his initials is self centered and egotistical. He grew the company from 3 people - the other two being the co-owner and first hire (now CEO). He likes when certain people call him out on talking too much, but if you're not in that circle, you get in a lot of trouble for doing so. 3) They claim that they support your continuing education, but they don't. The only offer post graduate and educational scholarships to favorites, or people they need that they fear will quit. 4) You should work here for 2 years, just long enough to show your next employer you can hold down a job
