Pros

- Great culture for white/male ex military - excellent benefits and medical packages - Pay is on-par or above par for government consulting work

Cons

- The military culture permeates all aspects of the company, for this reason, women and diverse people are merely tolerated and not really respected. There are always exceptions of course, but on the whole its pretty terrible. Likewise, the military culture leads to a very cut-throat, toxic masculine style of leadership at the company. - Diversity and Inclusiveness is terrible. The company preaches D&I and advertises it all over the place, but they are probably the worst company to actually implement it. - Company has lax hiring processes, which take entirely way too long.

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.
