Pros

Great reachback capability to support clients -- I can access individuals who are subject matter experts in many technical and managerial disciplines.

Cons

The firm can be a little weird in talking to you about salary determination. If you allow yourself to get hired cheap, it will be hard to make up for that in future annual payraises even with excellent performance reviews. Significant discrepancies in pay from team-to-team even for individuals with very similar resumes.

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.
