jobbite
I would agree with the other interview, one of the bosses his way of getting people to work is Fear and Intimidation, I lived a living hell the last 3 months I worked there because of a boss, in addition they do not help you to grow or allow to continue growing professionally giving preferences to their favorites and basically you will seat there do your job but will be behind big time, in other areas like software etc they will claim they have no money and that if you desire to grow get your own time and money not theirs, just work to your highest potential, but they will want you to be up to date in terms of knowledge in software’s etc, yet they refuse to pay for it, instead they will want the other employees to teach you who are busy working on 5 projects at the time and are not experts at it in the first place
No pros only cons
There is no learning curve with this company. Forget about learning new software or tasks and don't ask questions to clarify new software or tasks. They give you one very short opportunity then you're out the door.
When you go on an interview with this firm (Federal government contractor), get everything promised in writing, including details about the contracts you will be supporting and when they end. They tend to hire staff when they feel anxious about having too much work (even if it is just before contract ends), and then can't support the positions after the crunch. Your duties might also change.
There are several fantastic and smart people there, but they are overshadowed by a few bad apples. One boss has a drinking problem and manages by fear and intimidation.
Reviews are not necessarily done. The HR person never communicates anything until the latest possible minute, or has the wrong information, or changes her mind, which can create anxiety about layoffs and such.
They pay a lot to a certain few people, just like the government, so the management salaries are astronomical. In the end, the taxpayers pay these people; while I don't begrudge people earning money for what they build, it concerns me that the government is paying exorbitant salaries to contractors in general.
