Some great people, some not great leadership - Anonymous employee National Security Technology Accelerator Employee Review

The people are the best part of working here. Everyone is supportive and fun to be around. The work also feels meaningful, and there’s a lot of variety in the roles and projects. I have gotten to work on some really big projects and get to grow my skills. Overall, leadership is transparent. I feel like we have a good sense of what’s going on and why decisions are being made.

At times, you have to push pretty hard to get things done. This is the first time we are doing some of these projects, so there isn’t always a roadmap; you need to be comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out as you go.

There’s decent salary, benefits, and opportunities to travel. There are some great people in various departments, who were great to me during my time there.

The amount of turnover within this company is mind-boggling. Some people, including myself were hired after spending years at other companies only to be fired within months due to “performance.” There’s a lot of favoritism among the few people who were there the longest. There are rumors of the C-Suite behaving very inappropriately at events, as well as treating employees very poorly. There was just no way to ever feel settled or welcomed, which in return destroys your confidence quickly. I would strongly advise anyone without experience in government or military to avoid this company like the plague.
