Pros

There are some decent employees (out of 25k there should be some decent ones, right?), but management is a whole different story. I suppose if you are a Principal making $300k+ or a Partner making $1M+, it's a good company to work for.

Cons

They lied about the compensation and benefits, they lied about the amount of work available, they lied about conversations employees had with management. I've never seen an organization that lied so much in such a short amount of time. They will do anything to fill the seats (qualified or not doesn't matter). All they care about is making the most money possible. It's just a really bad, really unethical company.

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.
