Pros

Executive leadership is for the most part is good and accessible. Positive change with new CEO for start of FY2016. Training and educational monies made available to staff are good but not the best in the market. Flex to work from home is good.

Cons

Poor benefits, 401k/retirement plan, poor work life balance boundaries. Don’t expect to be disconnected from the mother ship when you are on PTO. Core values with respects to people first feels more like DL & revenue first before you. If you are without a project, LOWs (Lack of Work letters) are sent out quickly. Minimal assistance from your team/direct leadership/resource management team with placing on you another project. Sad that they hire outside people and not help displaced staff be matrixed to new projects/work.

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.
