Pros

Coffee and water/squash available in some offices, people are mostly friendly

Cons

Over hire, no support in getting onto projects. No communication from management. Made to go into the office to sit alone with no work to do. Office manager is basically a bully who admits to sending emails to other staff from an unattended laptop to make a point.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with a 9/80 schedule and generous paid holidays. Strong benefits, including a solid 401(k) match. Stable company with good job security supporting government contracts. Supportive team and leadership in my experience. Opportunities to work on high-visibility national security missions. Great place for veterans and those with government or military backgrounds.

Cons

Many roles require working in a SCIF with limited flexibility. Career progression can depend on contract structure and available openings. Some processes can be slower due to government customer requirements. Opportunities for remote work are limited depending on the position. Compensation can lag behind private-sector opportunities for certain management roles.
