Pros

Pay great; some great people working there, I think, only thing is, I only mey a few; I telecommuted, and was in the dark on a lot of things. On the contract I was on, I could not sell work or business, which was great, no selling, but it was severly held against me and others in my telecommute situation come appraisal time. Liberal time off as a telecommuter, work 8 hours, no set time, so freedom to come and go at home as you wish, as long as you make the occasional teleconference and have your cell phone with you. Company and client did not give us a lot to do as far as useful work when we were not traveling to do actual client work, which was fine with everyone.

Cons

Our manager was jealous ofour telecommute positions and treated it as an on-going sibling riverly. If you had a pay, time card, accounting problem, you always had to go through the help desk and hope someone got your message and would call you back. When my contract ended, I was told to expect word soon. The dorks delivered a FedEx overnight mail letter with deliver on Saturday April 30 on it, the day the contract ended, which was a Saturday, and alluded to a discussion that had not yet occured yet on 2 may 2011. Also, I was assigned an HR person to help me find work in BAH...they did not do anything to help me out. Had I known how little they would have done I would have worked harder on my own to find work in the Company, but was told, no, HR will help you, what a crock of lies and BS.

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.
