Solid Choice for Middle-Class Neoliberal Late Capitalism Comfortable Living
Pros
The whole federal consulting field allows for a nice pipeline from taxpayer, to government, to government employees, who are wealthy enough to themselves be taxpayers but not so wealthy as to avoid taxes. So the compensation is great. If you can stick to your principle and accept only work for the agencies that you believe in, you can look at yourself in the mirror every morning. As of now, there are some work from home options, but the company has been signaling that it will take those away for over a year now.
Cons
There’s no way this whole enterprise stays financially viable for the next ten years. Salaries are competitive with private sector, but budgets are not. There will be a reckoning. Also, like every other company I’ve ever seen or worked for, efforts at diversity and inclusion are window dressing, and ultimately designed to maintain a delicate status quo.
