Pros

Still good team chemistry in a lot of places They have interesting Tech Focus Group presentations that everyone can attend Most immediate managers I've seen are pretty good

Cons

To get ahead, you have to be one of the in-crowd, and its largely something you can't change through your performance. You have to be liked by senior management. Management very eager to pull the trigger on layoffs right now. If you think you might get caught without a project, you better float your resume out on the web ASAP. There is an internal bias against picking up people from inside the firm for new positions which only puts ppl further at risk of layoff (easier and cheaper just to hire someone new than go to through career mobility).

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.
