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.

Pros

Note: this is regarding an experience with an acquired company of CFed's, who still act as their own kingdom not necessarily CFed themselves. Aside from interviewing and being hired for a particular role and doing a great job at it and then being told that they require a different skillset a few months later on top of delivering a broken system after 2+ years of work to a high profile military client, they are not a bad company for whom to work :). They are in a very crowded space (fed gov consulting) and try their best. They also do their best to maintain decency internally when their gut instincts tell them not to. CFed themselves did get these right: - IT Helpdesk: the best in the business! - Onboarding - Benefit Communications - Technology and Security related messaging - Compliance Training

Cons

Most of the Cons were noted in the Pros.
