Pros

Work life balance, benefits, diversity of work/projects, locations of offices. Hard to beat in terms of benefits.

Cons

Being a "hard charger" on the government side is not always seen as a "good thing"; sometimes, promotions take a "wait your turn" or are biased towards a particular skill set, rather than based on a holistic evaluation of an individual's ability to lead and/or manage. Leap from Associate to Senior Associate is a chasm; needs to be less based on having the right "advocate" and based more on the ability of the individual to contribute to the growth of the firm and quality of leadership/management demonstrated by that individual.

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.
