Pros

There are some good people. Not just dedicated, team-players; but talented, skilled team-players. And the good ones are really good.

Cons

The 'bad apples' are in key positions of leadership and only give opportunities to those willing to play games their way. 60+ hour work weeks (no, not required of course, but to keep up with what will not get you in a bad spot? Yeah) Oh, and if you are not a software developer (professionally or by training/education), and you get forced to be one or go find a new job, and you spend a full year working your backside off to be told you are "a key part of the team going forward" by your Job Leader (because you literally built most of the backend of a piece of software now in prod with a BAH client) you can look forward to a 3% compensation bump because "we need to money to bring up junior people." Oh and about 2 weeks after while they bring on 3+ people with higher salaries than you who are now operating out of the same budget pool your new 3% is coming from.

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.
