Pros

First job out of college.

Cons

I worked there for two years. This was my first job out of college, where they hired me from an internship. The internship itself was meaningless, and I feel like me and my fellow interns had to figure allot out on our own. During my time as a full timer, I was delegated to a single contract for the majority of my time. In this contract, I was disrespected, and overworked. The contract client had me teaching his son to code, and my manager said nothing against that. I was isolated from my coworkers, and only received a meaningful salary when a coworker of mine came back from a much higher paying job. The work environment is cut throat, and values sucking up to management more than integrity and quality.

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.
