Pros

Benefits are better than most, particularly the retirement fund Pay is comparable with other firms People (most) are great to work with Opportunities abound for those who seek them

Cons

Bureaucracy is a bit tedious - I feel like it takes weeks or months to get things reviewed/approved, when at my previous VERY small firm it would takes minutes or hours Not all managers are created equal...some are great while others are dreadful and are allowed to continue in their roles unchecked It's not as "fun" as it used to be - some of the cultural advantages seem to have gone away

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.
