Great place to work

Senior subcontracts program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Values contribution from all team members. Flexible working arrangements, open door policy with most leaders.

Cons

Has become a LARGE company, that has trouble getting out of its own way sometimes. Still trying to find a single voice, merging multiple sites b/c various acquisitions has left sites splintered and struggling to find continuity.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good. Great team to work with. PTO plan is very nice

Cons

Upper management does not care. Constant cost constraints and hiring freezes. Management and HR always state there is no money for raises besides the "2.5% merit raise" per year (not even guaranteed). Constant additional work being piled on with no additional pay. Actual pay ranges are hidden from employees by HR.
