Pros
  • Decent salary (but has not kept pace with inflation).
  • Good work-life balance, mostly due to corporate inefficiency.
  • There is interesting work being done here, but you need to look for it.
Cons
  • Yearly salary adjustments have not kept pace with inflation and the rising cost of living in Northern Virginia.
  • Multiple senior leaders have stated (unprompted) that showing emotion is inappropriate in the workplace.
  • Poorly designed internal tech tools are billed as major successes, and using them is mandatory, but they often do not meet the needs of their users.
  • You are happy to work here and everything is great. Please do not confuse your colleagues by suggesting otherwise. Constructive criticism of the status quo will not be tolerated.
