Pros

The agency clearly is looking toward the future and so there is opportunity for those who want to be part of that effort

Cons

The agency's budget doesn't match its rhetoric and for some reason the agency cant upgrade its technology despite years of investment. I work in IT but its really acquisition and contractors do all the work and I manage the contracts and contractors.

Pros

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

Cons

Poor senior leadership lacks effectiveness. Promotion decisions prioritize diversity objectives over merit, with less qualified junior personnel (mostly female) advanced to Band 4 and Band 5 positions ahead of more qualified candidates. Additionally, daily workloads are insufficient to fill an 8-hour shift.
