Pros

Steampunk offers a wide array of work with in a wide range of government contracts. They incentivize out of the box thinking and the freedom and support to pursue innovative solutions while on contract. If you are interested in very cool work with the freedom to flex your knowledge and expertise they are the company for you!

Cons

The freedom of this job can create a plateau for individuals that don't push for more work and are not interested in being innovative. This comes from project directors having many projects and some times the only guidance you get are the scope of contract. on the reverse side of this if you are innovative and really do well in the role, you can quickly take on more work and responsibility that is beyond your "Pay Grade" and in some cases I have seen lead to burnout.

Pros

Steampunk seems to put a major emphasis on hiring good people, and good work stems in part from that philosophy. The company culture is very supportive and inclusive, and remote work helps with the flexibility that life requires.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that you only get 2 weeks of PTO plus federal holidays, which goes fast.

Pros

The company itself is decent, with reasonable benefits and some good people. Work-life balance is generally acceptable.

Cons

Project Management is terrible. The PM lacks honesty when communicating with customers about deliverables and timelines. They frequently overpromise and underdeliver. The PM does not shield or support the team properly and often misrepresents reality both to the client and internally. There is a strong preference for a completely flat organizational structure, regardless of years of experience or expertise. This leads to poor decision-making and frustration for senior team members. The account team is noticeably very female-biased. Male employees often feel sidelined or undervalued in account-related decisions and opportunities.
