Pluspunten
- Large and well financed company supporting individual contracts.
- Responsive administrative and IT support outside of individual team processes and resources.
- Outside of standard medical/insurance benefits they offer tuition reimbursement with University partners, IVF planning and discounts, career development, and more.
- Team/Contract dependent. (can be pro or con) In my case, my team and experience was great. Intelligent/sharp, organized, productive, supportive, and empathetic.
- Pace can be slower for government contract work (again, contract specific, can be pro or con depending on your style.)
- Allows for team autonomy.
- Offers fully remote positions.
Minpunten
- Contracts can be short term (3-5 years) and are not guaranteed to be renewed. There's no guarantee you will transition to another contract or team.
- Some contract funding may be affected by government shutdowns, or outright descoped (think DOGE)
- Very team/contract dependent. (can be pro or con)
- Pace can be slower for government contract work (again, contract specific, can be pro or con depending on your style.)
- Not as nimble as a smaller company or startup can be.
