Pros

Location of office near Annapolis and Washington, DC.

Cons

The legacy management team has a true 'good ole boys' network. Be prepared to hit numbers yesterday with your own contacts, active pipeline.. Do not expect the support of leads provided by the firm. There has a long history of turnover with excellent engineering talent and some solid sales representatives that truly are thankful of not looking back.

Pros

They pay extremely well and because of that have some very good engineers. Be prepared to work for that fat paycheck though. The hours are 830-5 but expect to run late a lot because all training is after hours. They do pay for all your training/certs though.

Cons

Can be very LONG hours. Crappy, cramped cubicle mess that needs updated. We make enough money for heavens sake UPDATE THE OFFICE. There is no need to feel like a sardine!!!!!!!

Pros

They are willing give just about anybody a shot at being an engineer. I was underqualified when i was hired, and with hard work and some help from my peers, I'm 10x the engineer I was. Usually the company is good about on the job training and shadowing. Salaries are competitive. Company has multiple company sponsored annual events to foster team building. Above average medical coverage. Publicly, company adheres to their value and family oriented claims. Bottom line, its a good place to build experience. However, be cautions of the non-compete. They will sue you and demand training dollars be reimbursed.

Cons

During my tenure, the first three month quit/termination rate hovered around 40%. Basically, half of the hires are gone for one reason or another within 90 days. This really kills the morale. It's been said that good managers are defined by the ability to hire outstanding talent, or by being pro-active at replacing talent. Plan B is not the former. Plan B has no concept of modern workplace operations and telepresence. Legacy policies dictate all personnel will be either onsite with a customer, or in the Bowie office squeezed into a small room with all the other cattle. There is also a complete lack or organizational transparency. Operated in typical military fashion, the 'grunts' don't need to know how the company is doing financially, or what the company's direction/vision is. Also be wary of the bonus structure. Dont expect much here, or to get an explanation of how its paid. After hours work is rarely paid out. The non-CEO founding partners are rarely around, and out of touch. They have titles and salaries, but they are just investors. When I did see them, they were talking about racing cars and flying planes. I think the CEO only learned my name the day I quit. Senior management should probably update their attitudes on gender equality and social issues. Wildly inappropriate jokes and workplace comments.
