Pros

Good People that work hard

Cons

Amentum has been in existence for two years, in that time the bankers that own it have taken the company from 20,000 to 50,000 employees by buying other companies. The focus is on reducing overhead and running the company for as little as possibly-leaving the employees that are left with terrible work life balance while trying to hold things together. I put a decade into the company and came to the realization that I was working crazy hours so some banker somewhere could make a few more dollars.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with a 9/80 schedule and generous paid holidays. Strong benefits, including a solid 401(k) match. Stable company with good job security supporting government contracts. Supportive team and leadership in my experience. Opportunities to work on high-visibility national security missions. Great place for veterans and those with government or military backgrounds.

Cons

Many roles require working in a SCIF with limited flexibility. Career progression can depend on contract structure and available openings. Some processes can be slower due to government customer requirements. Opportunities for remote work are limited depending on the position. Compensation can lag behind private-sector opportunities for certain management roles.
