Pros

Good onboarding team led by David Ong and HR executives. Get thrown into big projects with relatively little direct experience. It's a sink-or-swim mentality, but forces you to learn fast. Skilled upper management, highly respected with advanced degrees in their respective fields Good benefits package- health, 401k matching, dental, etc.

Cons

Lower base pay than most competitors- exclusively government contracts restrict pay. So unless you are specifically interested in state and federal government contractor work might be wise to include other firms in your search. Lack of cohesion between divisions - though they have restructured since my departure Lack of upward mobility without advanced degree
