Pros

Above average pay, certain groups (in Richmond) are given very flexible schedules -- I've heard the majority of employees work 9AM to 5PM. I enjoy my immediate team and people are quite friendly here (I'm not certain how sincere it is, but I have lots of professional friends from the company)

Cons

Very political internally, advancement track is unclear / no "career maps", benefits average; I am expected to come to work in Mclean from 8AM to 7PM most days -- I think the firm talks about "work/life balance" but I'm some times not convinced it is a value of the firm. (<- it could be a Mclean thing).

Pros

Great buildings, grounds and cafeterias. Good benefits. Depending upon the department, very good people to work with - especially in the Financial Services department.

Cons

Technical departments are run by VPs with absolutely NO technical skills or knowledge. They continually make poor decisions based on their lack of industry knowledge. Overall, the company is VERY political. ALWAYS watch your back, no one is immune. Also, the 'future of work' environment requires most people to drag suitcases on wheels to and from work. Unless you're a VP with an office, you do not have a desk - you just occupy a chair at a table with everyone else.
