Pros

A month of PTO - But that is also your sick days or any other time you need to take off.

Cons

Fraud. This company is constantly committing fraud against their customers and government. We were told by leadership many times to bill the customer for hours when we were not working on customer projects. Also, the leadership has the worse ethics of anyone I have seen. The leadership will not talk to you or your job supervisors before accusing you of violating an ethics issue even when you have not. But will gladly commit fraud by helping a person leave the company to claim financial hardship and then hire that person right back after the hardship is reported. Leadership will also do illegal operations outside of their legal authority. For example, we were told to work on equipment we were not authorized to work on but if we brought this up as a huge legal and ethics issue, we were told to not worry about it. If you report issues to ethics you are dismissed.

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.
