Pros

Work-life balance is nice. Majority of engineering and office staff works 9/80s. Benefits are decent.

Cons

If you are a self-starter looking to advance in a workplace. This is NOT a recommended job. Management has a major disconnect from the rest of the site. They will rarely even acknowledge your existence let alone interact with you. No matter how hard you work... Work ethic is destroyed here as you will receive the same respect and recognition as your coworker who puts in little to no effort each day. If anything, it will likely kickoff an uneven work distribution where you're carrying twice the workload as the 'Sr. Principal Engineer' making double your salary while playing on their phone each day. The salaries are subpar, ~10% less than competing tech companies in the area. Annual merit increases are 2.5%-3% each year. Promotions happen at standard rates every 4 years or so. Being a good employee with a powerful skillset and initiative makes no difference here. If you're looking for an easy paycheck where you can get by doing the bare minimum. This is your dream job.

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.
