Pros

Senior leadership is very accessible and easy to talk to, it's easy to share ideas or issues. Work-life balance is great, sometimes additional hours are required. The company is supportive of outside activities and time off. Benefits are reasonable in this economy and better than many other companies. There's approximately 10% of annual compensation put into a retirement plan each year, whether or not the employee contributes.

Cons

Promotions are not consistent across teams. Some teams promote their staff very quickly and easily. Whereas other teams hold their staff to higher standards and demand a set level of performance before a promotion is given. Sometimes leadership and clients don't communicate appropriately, leading to last minute changes in deliverables.

Pros

Strong mission-focused culture with meaningful work supporting national security missions. Great exposure to diverse projects, talented teammates, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to develop skills across security, intelligence, cyber, and consulting. Benefits and professional development resources are solid.

Cons

The company culture and employee experience have changed significantly in recent years. Earlier years felt more mission-focused and employee-centered, while recent organizational shifts, government spending pressures, and increased emphasis on becoming a technology-focused company have created uncertainty for some employees. Frequent changes in priorities, restructuring, and business decisions can make job stability feel less predictable. Employees may sometimes feel disconnected from leadership, and concerns raised through HR or management channels do not always appear to result in meaningful action or transparency.
