Fantastic Software and Systems Engineering Firm
Pros
Corporate leadership is relentlessly seeking to improve the company and genuinely empower its employees. Competitive pay, great benefits, frequent employee appreciation events. Diversified program portfolio with high job security (not a body shop). Large annual training budget that is not only available but encouraged. The company is filled with smart, hard-working people that are easy to work with. The programs and problem sets are interesting and challenging for the most part. Best subcontractor in the industry.
Cons
Limited opportunities for someone looking to work outside of Aurora, CO or for someone seeking to climb the corporate ladder (flat organization). Most jobs require TS/SCI, which is a barrier to entry if you don't already have one. Some of the programs in the portfolio are high stress with poor prime-to-customer relationships. Solidyn employees on this program, nevertheless, often stay there willingly for sometimes years at a time, and management will do what it can to transition people into different roles and programs as needed.
