Pros

Opportunities to work remotely based on contract and manager

Cons

Salary far below market Irregular pay schedule (not biweekly and not even close) No transparency about projects. They will put you on any contract that needs a body without consulting the employee or even letting people know what projects are available Low morale Extremely high turnover (all leaving for higher salaries and more interesting work) Low quality projects Below average benefits like no 401k match Rampant favoritism No company culture, committees have given up on planning events and morale is low due to high turnover No clear career path - abandoned evaluation and promotion system after one cycle

Pros

Lots of young people in the office and some teams have opportunities to work with senior government executives. The work helps benefit veterans, which is pretty cool. I believe Atlas hires "senior consultants" from other companies and gives them "manager" positions, so if you fall into that category Atlas is a great opportunity. I've noticed that if you are working below a manager or senior manager a lot of your experience will depend on that single person - work environment, experience, work-life balance, opportunities for advancement etc. There are some Managers at Atlas who do not have managerial skills and have no business being in charge of others but the company is growing so fast that they have low standards, in some cases. Most people are good, but if you're on a team with someone who isn't - and they are around - good luck to you!

Cons

Horrible benefits that dont represent industry norms - no 401k and bonus. Terrible HR in general. Their entire office is an "open environment" which can be really annoying, especially if your boss doesn't let you telework. Some people work in kitchens and closets, for example. Some managers dont have people skills and have no business being in charge of people or interacting in a business roles with clients. Atlas seems very cheap - a lot of employees dont even have phones or a phone number that isn't generic.
