Pros

My "paychecks" never bounced. Their objectives, to support the Cherokee people, are admirable.

Cons

It doesn't seem anyone in the corporate realm really cares about their moneymakers, the butts in the seats. The "Workforce Mobility Program" is laughable. If your contract tasking gets cancelled, GOOD LUCK! As a company, they obviously don't have the experience to manage government contracts long term. Don't be fooled, they do NOT understand government cybersecurity. There's really only one contract and they're losing that, with really no chance of competing to win it again. They acquired a good company and it will probably cease to exist because the CFED mothership didn't understand how it all works. They chased away a LOT of good people.
