Pros

The people and the projects. I've met great, smart people there. I have worked on some very interesting projects and had the opportunity to learn about a vast array of domains I never would otherwise have been exposed to. I like my immediate chain of command and find them to be competent.

Cons

A private equity firm has purchased a major stake in the company and while management promises us that there will be no significant changes in how we do business, I have a hard time believing it. It's an extremely profitable company, but obviously private equity firms are interested in making as much money as possible, so I'd imagine changes will in fact happen, and they may not be terrifically palatable to staff. There is no guarantee that you will get a good project. I know some people who have been required to work on lousy projects for well over a year.

Pros

When your contract is completed, the company provides time on "the bench" to find new roles within the company to transition to, maintaining pay and benefits while on the bench

Cons

Your contract will eventually finish and you will be back in the job search again

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.
