      Stable Company, but transitioning - Senior Project Manager ORAU Employee Review

      3.0

      Pros

      We are growing significantly even though the rest of the economy is in recession. The company is beginning to recognize that it needs to catch up with the times. The new CEO is taking action to gather feedback from employees to make the company better and more competitive.

      Cons

      Change is hard. High performance is not recognized or rewarded by the culture, management, or system unless you have been at the company for over 20 years. It takes a long time as a newcomer to figure out how things work or to have your opinion accepted as being equal to someone who has been around for a long time, even if one is being hired for a specific expertise.

      Pros

      The pros heavily depend on your host facility, program manager and mentor. My mentor is great and allows me lots of freedom to do my work and develop my skills. Depending on your host facility you get to work with federal agencies and potentially get connections for a permanent job.

      Cons

      We are considered not employed, but a "participant in a program". Our salary is a taxable income. There is no benefits other than an offered health insurance that costs hundreds each month out of your salary for minimal coverage. There is no PTO. You have to ask permission if you want to take a day off or go on a trip. Any problems with the management goes unnoticed and you get told by ORISE to speak to the program manager even if they are the problem.
