Business outlook
Pros
Great people: smart, dedicated, and nice. The work was (for the most part) interesting. The intentions are there to be a great company, it's just the execution that is lacking.
Cons
Systemic issue where managers are very smart and good at the work, but very bad at managing people or project management, so the project management ends up falling on analysts and managers, who have to try to keep a project going operationally in spite of managers, not guided by them. (SO much managing up). Also, huge problems with overwork: you can only bill 40 hours per week on USAID contracts, but you're expected to work upwards of 60. Overall the company just seems very disorganized.
