Pros

- easy to get a job out of college - 6% 401k match

Cons

- puppy mill work culture for young engineers - hard to impossible to get a promotion... even though doing work above pay grade - annual raises too low... even though doing work above pay grade - lack of profit sharing, bonus, or good medical - management will promise you the moon without following through... no you will not get put on that new shiny design project

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
