Pros

- Decent starting job - Some great people out there who are willing to help and guide you. Just need to find them. - Sponsors federal clearance - Decent benefits - 6% 401k match but only vests in February the following year - Some interesting projects

Cons

- Below average salary - Work can be slow/tedious - Federal clients (some can be very terrible) - Terrible HR department - Poor work/life balance - "Butts in Seats" work culture (no incentive for non-senior leadership to perform better, just to fill contract spots to bill more from government) - Does not practice the value it preaches - Loyalty is not valued (even working for an extended period of time, if you do not find billable work quickly you are gone)

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.
