Pros

They have great benefits and are good about balancing work and home life, for the most part. They also are good about paying for books if you want to study up on something in your field.

Cons

I think my team is a unique situation, but I think management can be too idealistic and caught up in the consulting world. They tend to want to "consult away" every single problem, even problems in-house or within the team. Half the time this means that they're side-stepping the issue or straight-faced lying to you -- I mean, consulting you.

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.
