Pros

Some of the best project teams I have every managed with some very challenging clients.

Cons

The assessment process is deadly. People who do not even know you pass judgement on you. You have little opportunity to offer your assessment of how you were judged. Also, when a client is displeased with any type of your team's work and voices such concerns to upper management even if you documented all aspects and challenges with your managemert and the client , you wil be thrown under the bus regardless. Upper management is not interested in your opinions. The client is always right and you are not!

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.
