Pros
Coming up on my 3rd anniversary and seems like a great opportunity to review. It was a risk moving from a large company with lots of contracts to a established but growing small. I wanted a defense contracting job where I would be more than an employee number or a line item on an invoice. BWM is a small boutique government contracting company that has opportunities inside and outside of the DoD. I quickly found out that my hard work was rewarded inside the job and by BWM. My personnel experience is one of having the CEO and corporate staff wanting to get to know me, my career goals and working with me to achieve them. I feel like I can grow my career along with BWM. BWM invests in human capital and actively pursues contracts that would help current employees with their career progressions and aspirations. Feels good that the CEO knows everyone’s name and has a pulse on where BWM will be in a few years. I am used to bigger companies grabbing as many contracts as they can and churning contractors through only worried about the bottom line. I am very happy making my career choice with BWM and everything the future strategic direction of the company.
Cons
It is a smaller company. Fewer contracts then a lot of big's, however, they are willing to work with me on an individual level to secure contracts that will actually benefit me.
