Pros

- All my managers have been top quality - intelligent, competent, and supportive of my career growth - Challenging work - Quality team members - Work/life balance - 40 hr weeks - Lots of opps to get involved (social networks, COPs) - Training opportunities and resources (a lot of company money is invested in training people)

Cons

- Benefits of good project managers, location of work, quality team members, and functional clients is very much dependent on the project you are staffed - Recently ( 4/09) Consultant 1's are now overtime eligible - but overtime is not encouraged - It an take a significant amount of time to develop the competencies necessary for advancement (which is the basis for our 360 degree performance management system) - No library for corporate or academic research - No dedicated team for proposal work (all proposal work falls on consultants who are already 100% billable)

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.
