I’m in the corporate, not spying/war, space, and only have second-hand accounts (from people I trust) but the impression I get is they peddle unremarkable data analysis products to businesses, relying on your buying lots of dev hours from their team to actually make half the stuff they sold you work. Basically just boring IBM-type shit, except maybe even less honest and professional.
