      Pros

      The people are bright, ambitious and leadership at all levels are happy and willing to help you. The company invests in their people more than the other government contracting companies I've worked for. They do lots of strategic investing in new insights, so you can always find something interesting to work on if you do not have a current client engagement or want to put in some more time on the side. Most of the management were genuinely kind, wonderful folks interested in your best interest.

      Cons

      The company is very management heavy. They promote very inexperienced people into executive positions. It was almost shocking when I saw the resume of a principal/director at the company. Their inexperience shows with their people strategy, budget management, and especially their ability to handle more difficult or subtle situations. The often promote based on likability - which is important in consulting, but it does not give them the credibility or experience to lead.

      Not a bad place to hang your hat for a few years

      Pros

      -Benefits are decent overall -Good training programs -The ethics program is taken seriously, so if you find yourself needing to invoke something from the Ethics Handbook, don't be afraid to do so.

      Cons

      -If a contract runs short on hours, you will have to scramble to find work regardless of having a positive variance in your required hours worked during the year or not. -It is easy to get pigeon-holed in a particular role and you will likely know about 2 years in whether or not you will get promoted -Promotions are VERY political and not related to merit. -Don't participate in extracurricular stuff unless it is mandatory or involves business development, it is usually a waste of your time. -Like most federal consulting firms, they will dangle the promise of a promotion to induce you to spend extra time on proposal-writing and business development. Like every federal consulting firm, take that promise of career advancement with a bucket of salt.

      Pros

      Nice co-workers, and easy going among peers.

      Cons

      Lack of organization, and planning. It is not just winning contracts.
