Pros

This company has an outstanding reputation which provides your work with credibility. There are a number of very talented, highly respected people with whom you might be able to work or use as mentors.

Cons

There was a surprising lack of strategic vision when it came to hiring and deploying people. I was brought in as part of a hiring surge and then it turned out there wasn't sufficient work for the people who were hired. People (including me) were placed on "make-do" assignments that had no relation to their skill set. Eventually, the work dried up even more and I was laid off. I never understood why I was hired in the first place and came away thinking this company was struggling to figure out its future path. Judging from what others are saying here, that hasn't changed.

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.
