Pros

Convenient location; great people at the non-managerial/executive level. The "worker bees" work incredibly hard and long hours - very dedicated with little recognition. Some strong ISDs with limited access to graphics support. QC is a one-person army.

Cons

Terrible performance at the management and executive level; very unprofessional and passive aggressive. Tons of money is wasted on a top-heavy team with no contracts to actually manage resulting in massive lay offs at the bottom-level. Those left end up being over worked and exhausted. The President is all smokes and mirrors with minimal experience in actual contracting; he tries to pull the "military" card constantly which is insulting to a family with a strong, life-long military service background. HR is extremely unprofessional; I had no exit interview because they just don't want to hear it. In short, it's a hot a mess! And to be forewarned, they encourage existing personnel to write glowing remarks to cushion the onslaught of negative reviews.

Pros

I was at Carney for a while, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best places I’ve worked. The leadership team genuinely cares about employees, and there’s a real sense of collaboration here. The culture is supportive, and work-life balance is respected. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, but without micromanagement. If you’re self-motivated and enjoy working on interesting projects with smart, driven people, this is the place to be. Like any company, there are challenges, but leadership is always open to feedback and actively works to make things better. Overall, a great company with great people!

Cons

Not necessarily cons for Carney, but they are a federal contractor which means we have to deal with federal people who sometimes are difficult. My work was remote which I like, but means I only got to see people on Teams or when there are socials every few months. As a small company, they don't have as many formal processes that I was used to from larger organizations.

Pros

Flexibile work schedule, no micromanagement and you are encouraged to do your job, some remote opportunities, good healthcare plan options, internal company leave donation program.

Cons

Limited opportunity for upward mobility or growth, a slow-growing PTO system when first starting with the company, with no room to negotiate.
