Ugly, vicious pressure-cooker environment
Pros
They have a great reputation for the work they used to do. But none of the same quality is there anymore. Five years ago, working at NavigationArts meant something. Fortunately, a lot of people in DC are still impressed by the name brand. It looks good on a resume.
Cons
As an employee, you're either on a pedestal or on the dung heap. Once your halo wears off, you're as good as dead to the senior leadership. They'll demote you or fire you without a second thought. Most of the partner level employees will stab you in the back as soon as look at you. Expect to get nasty emails and even nasty phone calls (!) from the CEO on Sunday mornings. You're lucky GlassDoor doesn't allow us to name names. Sexual harassment by one of the partners... that is all.
