TL;DR: The 401(k) is a scam. (1) there's a lack of transparency & integrity because they advertise 6% matching. However, "the Employer will match 50% of the first 6% of compensation deferred by each participant on each paycheck." In other words, they only match up to 3%. (2) When you dig into the 401(k) options, they are limited with high fees. So the 3% the company matches you really only covers the fees T. Rowe Price is going to charge you. (3) T. Rowe Price charges a quarterly fee (I think $40?), so right off the bat you're paying $120/year regardless of if you make or lose money. (4) The expense ratios are high. The 2060 Target-Date retirement fund has a 0.76% expense ratio, which sounds low until you realize it could cost you $100,000. Competing funds offer a 0.09% expense ratio.

Some PMs are better than others. Upper management has a habit of promoting lower level managers (with little or no training) into senior management roles. This creates a sink or swim mentality. They often then fail to hire a replacement manager at the lower level which creates a work vacuum for all personnel down the chain. When your contract ends they will place you in their career assistance program, which basically does nothing. If your task ends you have to go find a new jobs, even internally. Years ago they were better at this, but now the recruiters are just kinda blah.... College reimbursement is listed on all tasks but is only covered if it was included in the specific contract, if this is important then ask during the interview and get it in writing. Getting moved into a new clearance level is re-tardily difficult. GDIT will pay for the clearance but will not generally do the leg work required to get you moved into the role after the clearance is issued.
