Pragmatics Response
10yThank you for your honest feedback and positive comments on Pragmatics’ salary, contracts, and locations.
I would like to respond to your comment regarding the government clearance process. From your response, it appears you have a misunderstanding of how the clearance process works. The federal government sets guidelines for granting all clearances, which we follow faithfully; our security practices and protocols are audited annually by the government. Security clearances are issued as follows: if you are assigned work that requires you to access classified information, the government will grant a clearance following the completion of a background investigation. If you leave your position before the investigation is completed, the government deems that you no longer have a valid reason for the clearance, and the investigation is terminated due to “Loss of Jurisdiction.” A clearance is only granted by the government when there is a need and is not something that can be earned. I am sorry if you feel we did not properly convey this information to you.
We wish you the best of luck in all things and thank you for your military service.
