Pros

I had a very positive initial experience with Six3. I had an overseas billet that was very rewarding professionally and very well compensated. My first boss was great. Six3 made an effort to keep me on in a CONUS position when my deployment was over and the salary was quite competitive. I was given a generous bonus in recognition for my efforts on a large contract bid that was ultimately successful. The company supported my PMP certification and It seemed like I was getting in on the ground floor of an up-and-coming organization.

Cons

After my first boss was let go, Six3 management did not seem to know what to do with me. The initial plans they had for me seemed to flounder, and there was no Plan B. I had next to no situational awareness of our business plans, and I was rarely asked for my input on anything related to my subject matter expertise. I felt useless and frustrated. My new boss rarely spoke to me. The longest conversations we had was (a) when I was hired, and (b) when I was laid off.

Pros

Six3systems gave me an opportunity that was instrumental in getting me where I am today. At the time I was retiring out of the service and they offered me an opportunity that benefitted them as well as me. The experience I gained opened so many doors to my follow on opportunity. Please don't consider this a dig on the company, I'm very grateful for their trust in me. *recruiting was very candid and up front with me. Kudos to them, there were no surprises.

Cons

The only issues I had were mostly because of the contract/client site. Outside of that, I have no complaints.

Pros

Flexible hours, understanding middle management, ample holidays and vacation with options, a friendly headquarters, a weekly accountability system (whether or not it works is subject to question, but it's there)

Cons

Grossly underpaid employees at the technical levels- though I cannot comment on management scales. Very profit-driven, which on it's own is good for a company, but very bad for any employee with issues. Make no mistake; you will be let go fairly easily with little to no benefit of the doubt. The saving grace is the middle management knows all these things, and on my very first day I got what amounted to an apology for having to work for the company at a low level. Ouch
