Pros

The company is generally very good about hiring dedicated, qualified candidates. I have not had problems with worrying that coworkers will contribute equally.

Cons

There is often a sense that some problems are not solvable, that processes that are bad won’t be improved. Morale seems to be a problem. I have seen some employees passed over in favor of outside candidates.

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.
