Great place to work - caring and professional people!
|
|
- Opportunity for advancement from within
- Opportunity for cross-training
- Absolute desirable location in HSV
|
- Civilian dominant
- End of year evaluations skewed
- Personnel actions are slower than normal

Boundless opportunities for personal growth despite its bureaucracy.
|
|
Challenging assignments provide venues for personal and professional growth.
Directly contribute to national defense and global security.
It is a R&D agency with a global footprint and complex problems that require talented multi-disciplined teams to resolve.
Good stability and job security.
Competitive benefits.
Can occasionally telework, depending on position and supervisor.
|
Burnout is moderate, varying by organization and assignment. (written by one whose decision to move on was strongly influenced by burnout)
Pay lags that of equivalent positions in industry, especially in engineering and program management disciplines.
Cash bonuses severely lag the private sector.
Bureaucracy and political in-fighting is maddening.
Hiring and promotion processes move at a glacial pace.
Engineers may find that they don't get to do enough "real engineering."

Take your career elsewhere!
|
|
Good people stuck doing some of the nation's most important work in an outdated technocratic environment lead mostly by incompetent executives.
|
Your best ideas will be harvested and used for the superiors to promote their agendas and you will not get even the slightest thank you.
