Pros

The mission is outstanding, you leave work on a daily basis knowing you made a difference. The facility is state of the art. The mission sets are as varied as you can imagine, there is no doubt you can find an area to follow your passion.

Cons

Promotions are scarce, and the annual promotion process has gotten the nickname the "hunger games" for a reason. The agency struggles with change management, and with transparent communication to the workforce.

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.
