Pros

+ Great team and collaborative environment. They trust you have the skills and experience and support you how you need it. The managers care, and it's a fairly flat organization. + Training opportunities! If you see a certification or professional development training that interests you (engineering, proj mgmt, Agile, leadership, SE, etc) ask and they can pay for it. If it supports the customer's mission they can ensure you're paid for your time and not doing training after-hours + Enhanced leave benefits for veterans, great place for vets + Great workplace for LGBT, women, and woman engineers, none of the typical problems encountered in industry. + Yearly pay raise and bonus + Flexible schedules and good work/life balance + Reacted properly to Covid with teleworking highly encouraged after customer coordination

Cons

- No clear path for promotion - Depending on the customer/program, the workload can be sporadic and task loads unbalanced, but you get support from management that offsets that, and once you hit your hours, you hit your hours for that pay period.

Pros

Lots of Contracts so lots of different jobs. Some contracts are for cool agencies

Cons

You're just a number and they will not hesitate to let you go Youre never likely to get a substantial raise Growth is fairly stagnant. Prepare to have to wait 6-10 years for a real opportunity to open up Benefits are terrible. Hopefully you have a partner with good ones you can use instead.

Government Shutdown

Pros

You get to be a part of the mission that the customer performs.

Cons

(From my experience at TASC...) When there is a government shutdown, employees don't get paid. They either have to charge against their Paid Time Off (which is like taking money out of your own pocket) or you don't get paid. Unlike the government, no real attempt is made to get the customer to provide back pay for the time that employees are locked out because of a shutdown. The company also makes no allowance for the financial losses that employees experience. There is no reimbursement for the forced time off. The executives still get their bonuses. The owners still get their dividends. But the employees take it out of hide. Employees don't take priority. If a project manager is faced with a choice to furlough employees to make a better impression on a junior grade COTR or stand up for their employees, the employees get furloughed.
