Pros

- I did meet a few good colleagues (most who departed around the time I did)

Cons

- No ethics at all. I reported a classified data breach to our leadership. A Senior VP declined to report it to the client because it would "cost us the contract". - Most toxic work environment imaginable. The amount of backbiting and backstabbing and work stealing is unbelievable. One project had so many HR complaints about the manager that colleagues (and myself) finally told HR to quit contacting us for statements. Literally 9 complaints in 18 months. Most of the staff (including myself) finally just quit the firm altogether.

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.
