Pros

Had the opportunity to meet some great team members. If you are willing to bite the bullet and play the politics you can move up quickly enough. Unfortunately however, this will come at the expense of distancing yourself from your team members who won't see eye to eye with most of the decisions.

Cons

Leadership was absolutely horrible and lacked any qualities required to build a good workplace culture. Company culture leans heavily on the older "grown ups" and does not seem to value younger employees' opinions. They call themselves a tech company, but lack the vision and opinion to take any risks a tech company might. Management's responsibilities run counter to development teams and are improperly incentivized, often rewarded for behaviors which negatively affect the development of the product.

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.
