Pros

The pay here is better than the larger software consulting firms can afford to pay. They also have a very good healthcare plan with Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The profit sharing 401k plan has a match. The clients and fellow consultants I work with are of a very high caliber which affords a lot of opportunity for professional growth.

Cons

The job requires some travel once a quarter to conferences. The hours of the flights are not always convenient because of the Federal travel regulations that employees always take the cheapest flight. However the trips allow me to network with other professionals. Since my position is to consult to clients on a contract basis, I work independently and telecommute. I sometimes miss being in an office. I don't miss sitting in traffic!

We heard you and did implement direct deposit of paychecks last year. We love to hear about employees who feel they have made great progress professionally. The main reason we like to do contract work is to be exposed to new clients and new situations so we gain perspective on an entire domain of expertise, and not just repeat the same work year after year. We garner best practice out of all our experiences. That creates very confident people. Getting up early for a flight is no fun I freely admit. But we do it to save money for the Federal clients we serve. Your willingness to do so has not gone unnoticed. A lot of people sacrifice time with their families on Sunday nights to arrive a day early for a Monday morning meeting. Lately our clients have been cutting out travel completely for costs reasons and substituting virtual web meetings.

Pros

Still a great place to work: interesting and significant work with minimal corporate overhead. Smart and compassionate people. Very proactive at diverse hiring.

Cons

The only downsides are specific to the industry, not the firm: a bit isolated due to remote nature of the work.

Pros

They hired experienced people who were high performers. I learned a lot.

Cons

This company relies on federal government contract work. Leadership was in denial about the effects of DOGE and kept reassuring us that our contract would be safe because it was essential. Unfortunately, our contract was terminated. Despite this, I still recommend this company. Hopefully they can get more work.
