Pros

The only Pro I got from this company is that I never worked for them.. Silver lining

Cons

Long story, short... I received a call for a Security Analyst contractor job in NJ in March 2016... Signed the offer letter in early April 2016 (and this is after I declined their initial offer, because it was too low... Then they called back to re-offer the job to me, then after a bit of negotiations, we came to an agreement on a salary), then nothing from them ever again, as it's the middle of June. Numerous calls and emails to my POC have gone unanswered. I even went through all the pre-employment drug testing and received my background check completion paperwork... Business as usual... Then I see the same job I accepted and signed an offer letter for, advertised on numerous job boards. I guess I was blown off and wanted too much money. Not even a call to tell me anything. Nice way to treat potential employees

I kept a seat warm.

Pros

My colleagues and I suffered together through some difficult times. I had high hopes to move within the organization, but this never happened. I honestly gave it 110%, but I could not go on.

Cons

I was hired and began work for a particular project, so my experience is limited to one project in a remote office that was isolated from the company and most employees. As it turned out, the client was difficult and my role in the project was not needed until after about 11 months of my hire date. By that point, I had resigned. But I was very frustrated that I wasted almost a full year of my life keeping a seat warm for this company. My experience illustrates the mismanagement that my team regularly experienced. During my time of employment, I found that it is difficult to be a woman at this company. I sought other work internally but was not allowed on the one project where I could contribute because, as a senior member told me, "You are a woman." One manager who thought he was still living in Mad Men days was promoted to director after I left. The types of things this person says in meetings, to women, and behind closed doors will likely land a lawsuit in the company's lap. I had no choice but to resign from this project and company once I found another opportunity. Based on my personal experience, I could never recommend this company to a job seeker... especially if you are a woman.

Good Presentation, but lacks substance

Pros

The offices in Reston seemed to be Class A. Now I know where the rest of my salary went...

Cons

Horrible continuing education polocies. No genuine encouragement to grow indivudial knowledge. Employees are required to use PTO when attending conferences, multi-day traings etc. There is no reward for cerification achievement. The company seems to have a high amount of "industry jumpers", who are fluent in industry buzz words and catch pharses. The company itself promotes mid managers describing people as "seasoned" or "technical" Both extremely vague and non descript. Recruting will tell you anything to get you through the door.
