Pros

WLB, Mclean office Is nice - cafeteria, lots of windows, good location.

Cons

Difficult to find work inside the company because of the new administration changes, so there is a lot of layoffs. Lack of community, the culture here is a weird vibe. People are quiet, stay in their own lane, but you will at least get to know your direct coworkers. Increase in pay every year is low, like 2-5%. Increase in pay for promotions is also low.
