Pros

This is a well known company.

Cons

The firm has an overall toxic and demeaning culture. Turnover in my department was extremely high. Management only pays lip service to company core values. Many leaders are solely concerned with “managing up” via brown-nosing and manipulation, rather than supporting, empowering or developing their teams. In a lengthy professional career, this was the worst experience I have ever had. I could not get out fast enough!

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.
