Pros

Great colleagues, flexibility, not a pressure cooker type of place, fair pay and bonus structure, great benefits, great work/life

Cons

The work isn't challenging, sometimes more busy work than challenges, we're encouraged to think outside the box but many in the department are just task completers and not push the box. Management is difficult, a lot of we versus they, where to land the blame. New leader in HR did a listening tour within the group but in groups, would have been more genuine if she did it one on one, and actually reported themes back to HR and what her plan of action was. We hear a lot about the leadership team meetings but rarely about the outcome

Pros

Some of the nicest and most helpful people, but fewer as they keep getting laid off or pushed out because of toxic leadership. The mission is a high priority for some. Great place to work for a very short time, then go.

Cons

Poor leadership, constantly changing without taking any time to understand impacts. Decisions only benefit a small group of friends who only respect other former FBI agents and their contributions. Morale is in the gutter and it comes off as intentional. Women are disappearing from management ranks and only tolerated as long as they are agreeable. People get resources based on popularity with the in group so some teams burn out while others have little to do.
