Pros

Originally: Great 401k, Annual Profit Sharing bonus, Annual review w/ pay increase, Paid certification exams (pass or fail).... Now: Great 401K (None of the remaining perks exist)

Cons

Lack of established culture in the company. A small company can only "find its legs" for so long. What started out as great engineering firm with tons of promise, turned into a place to work until something better came along. There is an atmosphere of secrecy and paranoia that exists in this company, that is evident by the non-compete agreements and training reimbursement policies that are in effect. A few examples: Exam certifications are expected as part of your job, however PTO must be taken for the hours missed while taking the exam. Work extra hours on Monday, but PTO is required if you need to leave early on Tuesday, etc.. Again...what started out with alot of promise, end up with alot of disappointment

Pros

Strong team with plenty of impactful work to do. I was able to directly interface with and help the customer move things forward, no training wheels, or process to jump through. Subsidized health insurance premiums (Really Good Rates) Reasonable salary Natalie in HR is awesome. She really knows what she is doing, which is mirrored in the employee benefits.

Cons

Lost one of their major long term customers, which is natural as the government can’t show favoritism. But, they lost two contracts back to back with the same customer, which cut their workforce by about 50%. This caused me to have to move on.
