Pros

Decent benefits and 401k plan. Good work locations and commute

Cons

I am not sure where to start with this company. I was on a contract for Six3 for 6 months. It was my first government contracting experience after leaving the military and I was shocked by what I found. The onsite managers had no interpersonal skills with contractors and never went out of their way to engage with employees; I found that very odd. Additionally, I was severly underpaid in comparsion to people without college degrees or experience. With a masters degree and five years of intelligence experience there were people making 15 - 20k more than me who did not even have an associates degree. The work I was contracted to do was mindless and could have been done by high school interns. This company is being absorbed by CACI and hopefully managers will learn how to manage.

Pros

Six3systems gave me an opportunity that was instrumental in getting me where I am today. At the time I was retiring out of the service and they offered me an opportunity that benefitted them as well as me. The experience I gained opened so many doors to my follow on opportunity. Please don't consider this a dig on the company, I'm very grateful for their trust in me. *recruiting was very candid and up front with me. Kudos to them, there were no surprises.

Cons

The only issues I had were mostly because of the contract/client site. Outside of that, I have no complaints.

Pros

Flexible hours, understanding middle management, ample holidays and vacation with options, a friendly headquarters, a weekly accountability system (whether or not it works is subject to question, but it's there)

Cons

Grossly underpaid employees at the technical levels- though I cannot comment on management scales. Very profit-driven, which on it's own is good for a company, but very bad for any employee with issues. Make no mistake; you will be let go fairly easily with little to no benefit of the doubt. The saving grace is the middle management knows all these things, and on my very first day I got what amounted to an apology for having to work for the company at a low level. Ouch
