Pros

Pay is decent and benefits are OK. Company name looks good amazing on your resume.

Cons

Pretty on the surface with no substance. Management does not care about you and all they worry about is that you remain 100% billable. No bonuses or anything to anyone below Associate level. Path to promotion is hard and you have to humiliate yourself to have your voice heard. Support to an employee's personal growth and professional development is laughable (aka none). There is more focus on putting out nice looking slide decks than to the actual work. Lots of backstabbing and conflicts in order to get to a decent contract and once you do land an OK contract, most government agencies move at snail speed and you do not accomplish anything.

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.
