Pros

Everyone receives $5,000 in tuition reimbursement for school, certification, and/or training. As long as you are not assigned to a client site, you can work from almost any office so there is a lot of flexibility. Employee referral bonus is very generous.

Cons

Everyone above Consultant level is pretty much expected to work whenever needed: evenings, weekends, even holidays if you are senior enough, which makes it difficult for work/life balance. However, most positions allow you to work from home when needed, so that helps. Unclear promotion standards. Consultants and Senior Consultants get the same amount of vacation, even though Consultants are capped at 40 hours and Senior Consultants are not.

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.
