Pros

1- Government and non-profit exposure 2- Lots of different projects available 3- Teams are generally collaborative 4- Pretty much 9-5 job

Cons

1- No real consulting work 2- No building of skills - There is really no real skills they help you build. The online courses are good but really don't go far enough. 3- No strategy work - If you are thinking you will do strategy work there really isnt any here. Mostly process or ops based work. Lots of staff augmentation type projects. 4- Lack of incentives - there are no bonuses for associates who lead teams. There seems to be even a higher degree of disconnect when the firm was splitting.

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.
