In the end, I did not take the offer. I had a long phone conversation with the person who would be the line manager, and talked about flexibility needs, particularly given my medical history (Cancer and Heart Disease). She made it clear she would bend over backwards to accommodate me. Sounds great, right?
Well, it did sound great...so I did some more digging (I have a friend who is friends with the Gov't customer). The company got dinged big time at the last review cycle for failing to provide support to this work. They were not going to be renewed in a year. That was enough to get me to say no.
Funny thing was I had my annual performance review with my current company (whom I have been with for 20 years)...and ended up with a nice raise and bonus, which, when combined with the extra vacation time I get, put me ahead having stayed.
Good for you, OP! Best wishes.
