Pros
- The hiring bonus was great and so was the relocation - Pay is decent - Work/life balance is okay at first - Minimal supervision/no micromanaging
Kontras
They have a huge issue with hiring and keeping people on the team. Millions and millions of dollars come in through contract award but almost no increase in staffing for IT. Schedule is unpredictable. Forced to work very long hours and get called in almost weekly. Approved to take PTO and then coerced into to cancelling at last minute. Constantly understaffed and overworked. Leadership keeps saying they'll do something, hire more employees, but the opposite is happening as people quit or transfer roles the people left behind are the ones who end up doing their job in addition to their normal job. Toxic work environment and most people are afraid to raise concerns to upper management for fear of being forced out of the roles or "quiet fired." If you bring up any concern to HR, they use it against you and form a case to make you be quiet. Complete disregard for work life balance when a contract proposal is on the line, even though IT is the usually the last to find out about what the program wants or needs.
