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

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.
