Pros

The pay was decent, not great, but decent.

Cons

Pressure cooker environment, you're expected to work long hours and be on call 24/7. They give lip service to work/family life balance, but it's mostly talk. They do provide help if you have a breakdown, but that's about it, and you're likely going to be on your way out at that point anyway. Atmostphere among the longtimers is almost cult-like. Very cliquey. High turnover. Avoid.

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.
