Pros

There are a lot of Pros for this company. Having been in the IT industry for quite some time now, TerpSys is by far the best company I have worked for. They offer a great benefits package. Their pay is right on scale for the industry and the job locations (despite other posts about their pay being low it isn't). The Company actually cares about the employees, the CEO makes a point of knowing EVERY employee. Flexible work schedule. Company culture - This is where TerpSys is different from every other company I have worked for. TerpSys treats everyone like family, in a good way, not like the creepy Aunt/Uncle you only see once a year. This family atmosphere may not be comfortable for everyone, so if you want to go to work and sit in a cube and not interact with anyone, this is not the company for you. TerpSys thrives on teamwork and working with each other. TerpSys does charity work and has company functions which are put together well. Internal promotions - TerpSys requires continued education and will reimburse for certifications. New contracts are coming, so TerpSys will recover from losing their large contract.

Cons

The only Con I can really think of are the Staff Meetings. At least you get paid for attending or watching online.

Pros

I enjoy my job. I enjoy my coworkers. I love getting two raises a year. I really love getting an annual bonus. I love RDOs and all the vacation time. I like the Management in the Field events I've been on: Trapeze school, Kayaking the Potomac, and GoApe!. - all of which I was paid to attend I have graduated from the TerpSys Outward Bound professional course - which I was also paid to attend. I believe the interaction between management, at least between me and my manager(s), is fair. I am grateful for the TerpSys paid training and certification.

Cons

I dislike the internal website. We are encouraged to post 'Knowledge Sharing' to the corporate SharePoint "forum", but the site is bulky and counter intuitive to what an IT company website should be. Rather than initiate discussion, the 'Knowledge Sharing' section of the website comes off as a dumping ground for people who want to appear involved in the company; I include myself as one of those people. I really disliked the change to the corporate mobile policy that encrypted, and broke, my SD card, and granted TerpSys administrative credentials to my personal cell phone. This change was made when employees at the corporate office received iPhones, but the policy was not communicated to non-corporate employees. I would have appreciated an email explaining the new policy. The SD card encryption failed and I lost some personal data, and I had to factory reset my phone to remove the TerpSys administrative credentials. I no longer check TerpSys email on my phone and I have less confidence
