Infighting and personality discord at leadership's whim. A shell game of a company. - Senior Analyst Obsidian Analysis Employee Review

Pros

I made some good friends among colleagues. (The competent ones left around when I did, though).

Cons

The company itself is a shell game for government contracting. They have no in-house expertise but bill themselves as a security shop. They collect dollars from fed and other contracting vehicles, without any substance. It's also a huge personality circus-- even (current CISA head) was once here and played at the leadership's brutal little chess game of personalities. The two cofounders were in a machiavellian power struggle. It was ugly.

Pros

-Great place for new grads to start and get exposure to some interesting projects -Great place for new grads to see examples of poor leadership and what "not" to do -Bagel, pie, and cookie days in the office

Cons

-Terrible, misleading, downright sneaky management practices -Some managers are TERRIBLE leaders. No idea how they got that position over anyone. Some of them couldn't lead a picnic -Horrible people in charge of terrific employees. Never a good combination. -Don't bother reading the employee handbook - they don't follow it. Remember, Virginia is an "at will" employment state -The parties and happy hours are chances for management to find out your business so they can use it against you if they have to -People still under the spell that the Cadmus transition will change everything and make it 'right'. Wake up! You must cut cancer out - it doesn't heal on its own.
