Pros

Free coffee but management closed down our cafeteria. The parking lot is big enough for everyone.

Cons

Managers are overpaid, oblivious, and lazy! Tasc has too many PMs and many aren't even managers anymore due to lost contracts - they slide into a SETA position and keep their PM pay. They do nothing but marginalize and stereotype employees and critcize the customer. Managers rely on the good 'ol boy system to keep their jobs and remain relevant. Communication is nonexistant. Managers won't remember your name or even care to talk or i teract with you. You are just a distraction to them. You will have zero chance to advance and will not be rewarded with a decent raise or performance eval unless you get in the good ol' boy system. Tasc is old school - managers reward employees based on who you know, not by the merits. There is a huge generation gap that Tasc ignores and cannot remedy because salaries are so high for top heavy management they can't afford salaries for anyone but a junior engineer. If you accept a job at Tasc, be prepared to get all the BS and gopher work dumped into your lap. New hires provide opportunity of senior and mid level to empty there tasks onto you for long work days while they gossip in the halls and goof off. Benefits are getting cut more and more. Health care is absolutely terrible.

Pros

A lot of good colleagues, work that is important to the nation. Lean upper management

Cons

In the past couple years, too many large contracts were lost and the company has cut and slashed everywhere. Our medical benefits were greatly changed and skyrocketed, 401k contribution cut, profit sharing taken away, pension eliminated (technically that happened when TASC was divested from Northrop Grumman), most internal professional groups eliminated, no apparent investment in R&D or cutting edge technology. Terrible IT support that is outsourced from Unisys too. TASC used to be a place with top scientists and engineers would go, but with a focus strongly on systems engineering and nothing to attract them, there's a disconnect that Sr leaders haven't figured out.

Pros

No Pro's left...the company has deteriorated to a point where it's become who can get out fastest.

Cons

I have watched management eat up, what little profits there are, with high salaries and bonuses for the executives, while the employee's have not had any raises in more than 3 years and, even though annual bonuses are "supposed" to happen, they don't (at least not for anyone below Director level (Director and above get their bonuses). Benefits have been cut to the point that you're almost better off going through "Affordable Health Care" program. TASC doesn't understand their customers, don't meet the customer needs, and certainly don't meet the employee's needs. TASC has some seriously talented employee's...but many are RIF'd because they make too much money (you get what you pay for dude's), or they leave for other employment because they are fed up with the BS. I understand the economy, and government cut backs...but the decisions that upper Management at TASC is making are truly BAD, and have resulted in the loss of some outstanding employee's and some seriously important government contracts.
