Pros

steady salary, good benefits, large organization, opportunity for some lateral movement

Cons

fear of being laid off, the company says that it has values, but it is a boys club, when I began I knew women in technical roles, they have since all left the company, if you are a dude and play lax and can talk about the gym or beer you'll fit right in, if you are a "working mother" and want to be good with spreadsheets work part-time and have no career ambition you will fit right in, but if you are an engineer with real talent you will be miserable and bored and you will start to have disdain for your upper level management who value MBA's over skills and it reflects in your salary, also if your daddy works here you can sexually harass anyone you want and HR will do nothing, literally nothing

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.
