Pros

The pay is competitive and the benefits are great. There are a number of office locations so if you are lucky you can get a transfer. Some great people to work with and a lot of opportunity for interns.

Cons

Downward communication is lacking. If you are lacking as a manager but bring in new work you are rewarded. Great managers that lack in bringing in new work are shunned. Serious ethics violations are swept under the rug. New contracts seem to be few and far between or there is a lack of communication within the firm letting everyone know where help is needed.

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.
