Pros

None at all. Wished I had never come here.

Cons

Below average pay, benefits are a joke, and management lacks leadership. Our government can find better, more competent, and above all an American contractor to do the work. This company in NOT an American company. They are run by Indians and they run the company based on the Indian caste system.

Pros

Remote work opportunities available for some positions.

Cons

Compensation was below market compared to industry (at least 20%). Benefits offerings were underwhelming and continued to decline over time. After the merger, the company culture shifted and felt more like a staffing firm than an engineering-focused organization, and went through frequent layoffs creating instability and low morale across teams. Leadership communication often felt disorganized, with issues repeatedly pushed down to lower-level employees instead of being addressed strategically. Long-tenured employees were let go while leadership restructuring and new executive hires continued. 0 Career growth! Diversity and inclusion efforts are nonexistent unless you are a white male.
