Pros

Good experience. Work with high caliber people. The leadership on the governmnet side are clowns and engage in long-term projects that have questionable ROI for the client. However, the commercial side is much more focused on providing value to the client.

Cons

The culture reinforces territoriality and turf building rather than collaboration. When it really comes down to it, the welfare of employees is clearly lower on the priority list than other business levers. Also, if you work on the government side, the consultants tend to mirror the clients they work with--slow and bureaucratic.

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.
