Must be able to tolerate high level of hypocrisy to work here

Pros

They are pretty generous about flexible hours and support telecommuting

Cons

Employees are only valued based on how much profit they bring in with no regard to client satisfaction with their services. Seek to maximize profit by hiring employees who will work for low pay with no regard to how capable they are with respect to meeting clients' demanding needs. Will terminate experienced, higher compensated employees to maximize profit regardless of the impacts to clients who had been depending upon those employees' experience and past performance to solve their most complex problems. If experienced employees refuse to take a pay cut to stay with the firm, they are treated rudely; in my case even denied a portion of my final paycheck for weeks beyond my last date of employment.

Pros

They're a big name in the federal government contracting arena in Washington, DC.

Cons

Everything else. They have an especially heavy presence with Department of Defense agencies, therefore, they focus on putting older white males in charge who they believe will be better able to relate to the DOD. This isn't the worst strategy in the world but many of these guys know absolutely ZERO about managing projects and leading and motivating teams of civilian workers. Outside of this, the women they tend to put in front of the DOD staff are young(ish), cute (sometimes dumb) blondes. The rest of us had to stay in the bullpen area quiet, out of sight, and ready to sacrifice ourselves to do the last minute grunt work that the cutie pies didn't want to do. Needless to say, I didn't last very long.
