Pros

Benefits, Work Life Balance at times, Always something going on in McLean in terms of training and activities. However, most are never lucky enough to be allowed to attend because they are chained to their seats on client site.

Cons

Management is HORRIBLE! Team cares more about making documents and deliverables "look pretty" as oppossed to the actual content of the items. You either get lucky with your manager, team, and project or you don't. And, don't even try to move around within. You will be black marked and described as no longer being a team player. Also, even though they claim they do not support "butts in seats" roles, if you are on the government side, you will almost always be performing a government-type job and may even be managing a government employee. And the worst was being told I could not attend training that had been scheduled and approved because I was not allowed to leave my seat at client site.

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.
