Pros

It has been mine and several of my colleagues experience that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. Age and experience are less important than how well you're doing (how much impact are you having) - that's refreshing and seems to be different from many other companies. Benefits are fabulous. There is a lot of flexibility in terms of flex-time. Hours can be "flexed" over an entire month and for the most part, those week to week changes can be handled informally without too much coordination and documentation.

Cons

The career model is outdated - it desperately needs updating to account for those who do not want to pound the streets building the business. Salary structures, advancement to Sr. Associate and beyond are still very vague. There is a large amount of grey in the areas of promotion - it's largely who you know and who knows you.

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.
