Pros

The Fearless that I joined a few years back was an exciting, employee-centric small business. They've always done a great job of hiring awesome people and prioritizing culture, even if that culture isn't what it was in years past. It helps a lot to both like and trust who you work with. Their original leadership team still does a good job of relating to the workforce as well, even though they've fallen more into the background. The people who work on contracts are usually able to strike a solid work/life balance, and despite the reduction in benefits, the package is decent.

Cons

The Fearless that I left in 2024 felt like a run-of-the-mill government contractor. As they grew out of small business protections, that employee-centric mindset faded away as well. New leadership led to focus on profits and a level of micromanagement that had never been present before. Middle management appears to be put in a position to have to solve all of the problems, leaving them with pretty poor work/life balance if they want to be successful. They also acquired another consulting company that seemed to be very awkwardly integrated into the existing business.
