Doesn't look good

Pros

Pay is good. They also contribute to your HSA and provide public transportation or parking subsidy. 5.5% match of 401K. The new leadership is trying to reshape the company.

Cons

Typical EPC company. Your job is depending on whether there is a project for you to work on. Some clients want to interview you before accept you to work on their projects. Previous executive leaders made some stupid decisions and the company has lost its glory a lot. The new CEO brought a lot of VP from his previous company but has not turned into more new backlog yet. Very old school and the department I work for provides no support at all. All they care is you fill in the time sheet right.

Pros

Cant think of even one.

Cons

Everyone focused on milking the government for everything they can get. Very poor leadership. Treat employees like animals. Tend to reward the incompetent.
