Pros

- Overall good work-life balance - Overall friendly co-workers - Generous PTO compared to other similar companies in the DC area

Cons

- Managers and leadership don't listen to the complaints of employees. Even if they did, they certainly don't act on it. - Poor transparency at the management level and up - Backward attitude towards technology (from laptops to communications to workflow) in general, especially for a company that identifies itself as having technological expertise - Outsourced IT (one of the main reasons behind its poor tech capability) - Raises are rare - Managers and leadership in general tends to react to the demands of clients rather than lead clients - Leadership does not fulfill its promises

Pros

I never write reviews for companies but felt I should for this one. The level of communication from leadership to consultant is exceptional. I’ve been in GovCon for over 20 years and this is the first CEO that is committed to conducting one on one mentoring and strongly emphasizes internal promotions. Not having additional rungs put on the corporate ladder above you was both unique in my experience as well as appreciated across the company. I saw some previous reviews about communication and they strike me as being written by someone who hasn’t been in the corporate world for long enough to understand how PotomacWave is leaps and bounds above ANY company my associates and I have ever worked for with regards to corporate leadership and communication.

Cons

The company is committed to community outreach but it does not offer a paid volunteer/day off for me to volunteer at my son’s school, for example. Few companies do but I think that to be a nice perk.
