Pros

Defined benefit pension plan. That's it.

Cons

Other negative reviews are accurate: - cut throat, bullying work environment that senior management foster. Everyone is afraid of reprisal - Rampant favoritism and nepotism - Boys club. Senior leaders are too busy accumulating power - Virtue signaling with DEI in public while class action lawsuit for discrimination of POC taking place - No career progression available unless you're from the chosen group -Hybrid work bait and switch - Not in Top 20 federal department/agency
