Pros

Strong institutional legacy and brand. Smart, hard working people. Deep functional expertise across multiple domains. Opportunities to be entrepreneurial and take measured risks.

Cons

Core Values were jettisoned immediately following the acquisition. A once very people-centric culture that valued people as assets rapidly gave way to a single-minded focus on cost cutting. As a result, the qualities that made the firm a truly outstanding place to work are now sadly a thing of the past. Much of the best talent seems to have moved on. Those who have remained seem resigned to hunker down and do whatever it takes to avoid a lack of work letter.

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.
