Pros

Strong social atmosphere. Competent co-workers. Very stable work environment. Lots of learning opportunities. Several interesting projects and opportunity to move around.

Cons

Huge firm. Difficult to advance from Associate onward. Work-life balance is overstated--to be promoted lots of work is required in addition to 40 hours. Work is now (post-merger), 100% public sector with no private sector opportunities. There are limited international opportunities now as well.

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.
