Shane Bailey, Agile Coach & Scrum Master Team Lead at Makpar
“After 3 years as a retired federal employee, I was introduced to Makpar and thought I would give this a try for 6 months or so. After 5 years, I am still working at Makpar! My mind was not ready for permanent retirement, and Makpar provided an opportunity to use the skills acquired during my federal employment. Makpar offers a great environment; the management team is extremely supportive and encourages professional growth and development. Makpar is not only interested in advancing your career, but also places emphasis on promoting a fun atmosphere for its family of employees.”

Makpar is diverse, engaged, and always looking for ways to get involved with the local community. It's inspirational to be a part of an organization that prides itself on giving back and encouraging others to do the same! The company also prides itself on the relationships it builds with clients as well as employees, a true leader in the field of cyber security and IT consulting.”

“It has been so refreshing to do challenging work under leadership that invests as much in their team as they do service excellence. I appreciate the collaborative approach to solving client problems and the diverse perspectives across our teams.”

“I joined Makpar in 2017 and have found it to be one of the best places I have ever worked. I was given an opportunity to work on many challenges that helped me shaped my career growth. Makpar values my expertise when making decisions and allows me to lead a solution for the client. I found that I was not just another employee, but a valued player in shaping Makpar’s future. I felt comfortable speaking to the CEO directly, which made me feel that they not only care about me professionally, but also on a personal level. This was a huge comfort for me. I believe Makpar is making its way into becoming one of the most valued tech companies in the DMV area. When they say ‘Makpar family,’ they really mean ‘Makpar family.’ I am looking forward to growing with Makpar.”
