It’s a bit of a mess - leadership, stability, client roster, etc. The job market is tough so its great if you have a job... just know you’d be walking into a bit of a sh*t show.

I've heard from friends that if you work on Army, it's a lot more stable than the rest of the agency, if that helps.

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead
