Pros

Salary, resume builder, experiences. Great view of different companies and industries. Had the opportunity to meet with and interact daily with executives from various Fortune 500 companies. The challenge is enormous, but the skill development opportunities are amazing. The competitiveness engulfs you on a daily basis, and there is even a little bit of fear in the accountability and workload presented for top performers. Sales skills are a necessity.

Cons

work balance is horrid. Internal competitiveness is extreme. Travel is nearly 100%. Management does not spend time with Associates and Senior Associates, and there is a great deal of favoritism in the firm. Turnover is high, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

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.
