Pros

- Excellent resume material - Average (although diminishing) benefits package and pay scale - Interesting assignments and a variety of clients - Talented coworkers

Cons

- The culture has shifted from client service and excellence to short term financial management and billable hours. - Staff are hired as "least technically qualified / lowest cost." - The assessment system focuses on the wrong metrics - not everyone is a busniess developer. You need hard working technical staff and functional experts. - There are way too many senior leaders who are out of touch with the client base and only serve as gate keepers and manage through powerpoint. Quarterly Management Reviews are largely group think and self-agrandizement sessions. - Overpriced, and not worth it.

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.
