Good place to work - Geodetic Orbit Scientist National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, interesting mission, good access to learning/training to progress career, good people (for the most part).

Cons

Mission position window can keep you in a position you don't like for a few years (but those are gone as of 2020). Promotions are based on yearly review and time in grade matters, so a high-performing employee in a role for 1 year has no chance of promotion against an average employee in the role for 10 years.

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.
