Any typical day at work would be to accomplish any assigned task meeting the customer's satisfaction and or mission need.  I expect management to take care of the majority of office functions allowing me to perform the mission activities.  I work well with co-workers or completely solo.  The hardest part of any job is to perform without having a clear direction from management of what their expectations are.  The most enjoyable part of any job is the satisfaction knowing you performed well and met the customers needs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The leadership gives a lot of opportunity for younger employees. They also have great benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a contracting job, there’s always a chance funding might not be consistent.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is pretty good, parties, lunches, and chances to give feedback

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work offsite, so I don’t get to be with the company most of the time.

Before starting my internship I was aware that there was no guarantee of a permanent position. The job environment was very nice and relaxed. Management was very effective and encouraged further education in area of study. The only downside is that they will invest in interns but not really consider hiring them as a permanent employee however they are very large and very well respected and will look great on a resume.

This job was the most rewarding, and being my first job it put me in a very good position for my future positions that I landed.  I held a TS/SCI government clearance.  Learned about aerospace, and looked over 20 engineers in and out on the field all over. Handled all office expenses, time for all employees for my locations, employee reimbursements, all government reports and contracts up to 12 at one time. Handled travel for director and engineers. Dealt with multiline phones, data entry, and etc...  Loved it!!!

I worked at Riverside Research on a long term temp job. In my time there I learned the ins and outs of government contracting and vendor selection. I had great managers while there. Not only did I assist them in all work related aspects but I was also able to learn very much from them. They were helpful in my learning the broad spectrum of government contracting.

The people and atmosphere here are great, and the work schedule is super flexible depending on your position. Wish we were allowed more hybrid work, but needing to be present for customer support is understandable. The biggest negative is how independent the work is, I can go whole days without speaking to anyone else. The research can become tedious, but the flexible work schedule and very minimum hovering from higher ups make it worth it.

I enjoy working here. The customers I interact with on a daily basis are generally nice. My team and department management are awesome and helpful. I don’t feel like I’m being micromanaged. Pay is not amazing, but benefits are good. The buildings are clean and there are free snacks. There’s always work to do, which helps me avoid getting bored.

Many personnel in Dayton, Ohio are retired O-6s with the experience inherent to high-performing individuals. Like all companies, some are more people-oriented while others are more mission-oriented. As is the case everywhere I have ever worked, people make or break the job. This seems to be a company where most spend the last 5-10 years of their careers.

Everyone that works in this company has a different view and perspective
of the work place. Unfortunately I have a unfavorable outlook on this company. I recommend If you are considering a position at this institute to weigh all your options before accepting and offer. Your experience may be different than mine. However that is a chance you have to take for yourself.  

Company does not support a healthy work life balance. Leadership  looks down on employees and is very disrespectful of employees contributing value to the company’ success. Many of the leadership decisions are based on financial profits not always best-practice based on compliance requirements.
