Pros

Decent compensation and PTO package

Cons

Program management laid off my entire team of engineers with no notice after promising job security until at least the end of the year. They also made no effort to assist in finding other roles within Akima. No severance was provided and benefits were stripped 48 hours later. Management also never provided adequate tools for the MBSE team. Instead of purchasing licenses, we were instructed to use a local demo version of the software or attempt to remote into a virtual machine that was down 40% of the time. Absurd behavior for a government contractor.

Pros

Hard to say any if at all. I get a paycheck (that took months to be paid correctly)

Cons

No wage increase despite others making way over SCA limits, no adjustments for cost of living, same people recognized for doing bare minimum, insurance premiums are insane, no allowance for unpaid leave, PM totally unaware of what even happens on the contract, no one in upper management takes accountability for mistakes and contractors are blamed, many inadequate hires made just to have a warm body
