Pros

Direct manager was easy to work with. Project with the government agency we worked with was interesting and worth doing.

Cons

Tried to pay Kentucky rates in the DC metro area. Had to negotiate hard for a minimal pay raise (actually wanted to pay me less than the previous contractor and was only kept on because the government customer wanted me to stay on the project).

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
