Pros

The team is made up of strong engineers, and the benefits are solid. Depending on the project, the work can be both challenging and a good opportunity to grow your skills.

Cons

Medium career progression. Career progression there tends to rely heavily on internal networks and visibility. Low job security. A large portion of the work depends on government projects, and with many govt projects being paused or canceled, it’s created some uncertainty.

Pros

Great people to work with! Great vibes and amazing culture. Fully remote-ish

Cons

Fully remote does take away the more interaction with your team. Not to say they aren't open, but there is a difference between just messaging and instantly talking with someone.
