They hire only smart people...so you will learn a lot of quality information Work-Life Balance People genuinely care about others

Cons

Roots are in government contracting, which makes change difficult at times Their mantra is "Do the right thing"...which gives individuals autonomy, but also serves as is a cop-out for exec mgmt to lead by example.
