Pros

Literally nothing, they haven't done a single thing correct during my time here.

Cons

Where to start? Maybe I could start with how atrocious onboarding the company is. Put simply, nobody cares enough to assist and answer the most basic of questions and you have to figure out the steps by yourself. There is no path to follow, no instructions to read. Just figure it out yourself. Next, Onboarding to a project. So you managed to onboard to the company, nice! Get ready to get completely and utterly ignored by the staff opps department as you read outdated instructions with links to sites and documents no longer working. For an example, once you painstakingly find a project, you then on average have to wait 3-4 MONTHS before you can realistically expect to be onboarded and charge time to the project. Once on the project, don't expect work or tasks to get you through the day, as you won't have access to any of the systems. To get those you need to go back through the staff opps department. At this point you'd be better off sending staff opps your resignation letter as they might actually get around to that by the time you get a promotion at your new company. Next, the people. Everybody Understands how broken the company is, but nobody does anything to fix it. Nobody knows the processes to get anything, and if the little knowledge they do have doesn't work, then you're just screwed. I've spent about a year at the company at this point, my recommendation is that if you get offered a job here go on the zoom to laugh in their face. I wouldn't wish working here upon my worst enemy.

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.
