Pros

Lots of opportunity for experience if you find the right team. Comparable pay.

Cons

Easy to lose work-life balance. Benefits decline every year. Company structure always in flux; Leadership changes the direction of the company every 6 months. Benefits and internal structure keep changing under the guise of improvement, but everyone knows it is either a stop-gap solution or designed to be better for the shareholders. The company keeps trying to reduce overhead to be more competitive, but instead they add more overhead to manage the reduction of overhead, and the rates pretty much stay the same. Once upon a time, everyone had offices, now hardly anyone has an office. Rates went down 0.0%.

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.
