Pros

Good benefits, salary is relatively competitive with other firms in the DC area when you factor in the benefits & the name for the resume. A variety of opportunities and career paths. Many of the employees are experts in their fields.

Cons

Salary (by itself) is not great. Salary appears to be arbitrary and varies widely (10K+) by team/office -- even if in the same metro area. Difficult to move to other projects. Highly technical people need not apply, they just don't have a wide array of technical work that needs to get done. Full battle gear business attire is required every day. There answer to everything is "it depends." They should be able to give straight answers, particularly to new college grads.

Pros

For younger employees, a chance to learn a lot. Very liberal budget for IT and travel. Very good benefits.

Cons

Its a sweat shop. You are expected to be on call, working, checking email, 24/7/365. They have no sympathy for family issues that require time away from work. They fire good people at the drop of a hat with little justification. Performance, ratings, while supposedly based on 360 degree feedback, is subject to change by management if they decide they don't like you. Management hires their friends at outragiously high salaries, thereby denying internal candidates new opportunities.

Pros

Decent benefits, but salary is higher elsewhere

Cons

A company that lays off employees by the thousands and also donates money to Trump's vality Ballroom is not a company that values its employees A company that embraced DEI when DEI was popular and profitable but then drops it as soon as it isn't popular or profitable (including pulling their donations to causes that have fallen out of vogue) does not demonstrate "ferocious integrity" A company that watches tens of thousands of federal worker colleagues get fired and says to employees faces that "this is an exciting time" is not a company that values anything. This company doesn't value people and we are all disposable. If you work here, have a backup in mind.
