Pros

Good job security - there are plenty of incompetent and unproductive people still gainfully employed so once you're through the gate you're good to go.

Cons

Facilities are taxed to max already and they plan to hire a few thousand more to meet contract demands. They've converted several conference rooms into desk space making finding places to meet difficult. Parking gets worse by the week, there's even some parking shaming threads on the company forum by employees that post pictures of poor parking jobs that take up valuable spots Maternity leave is minimal and paternity leave is non-existent. If you have hopes to create or expand your family look elsewhere. The hiring process is long and drawn out to the point that they sold me in part on their tuition reimbursement policy but by the time I'd made it through the door that policy, like many others, had been cut down. They never mentioned that the company shuts down for a week around Christmas and that you're expected to float other holidays or use what minimal PTO they give you if you want to be paid during that time. Policy and procedure dictates work, rather than the other way around. There's always a form somewhere that needs to be filled out and good luck getting help trying to figure out what needs to be done. Company culture is a joke. Seemingly everybody has a countdown to leave this place, either until they hit retirement age or until they have enough work experience to be hired elsewhere.

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
