Pros

Free training, remote work, bench time between contracts, high ethical standards, leading in research, and a very diverse workforce.

Cons

DEI focused. Limit to bench time, then let go. Broken system to help find work or a project. Employees too busy to help. Projects can be short or limited, leading to bench time, finding another position. Performance metrics are greatly influenced by the business model. Performance metrics below requirements, no matter the value of the employee or the circumstances, means termination.

Advice to Management

Rework the performance metric calculation to include other indicators.
