Pros

I have been at the NGA for 6 months and thoroughly enjoy it. In my work role, I have been given a good amount of freedom to pursue interesting projects, within the scope of mission goals. I have also been placed with a very good group of coworkers and have found every one to be nice.

Cons

The big downside is the usual "big, slow" government versus "quick, nimble" industry. Getting any requests fulfilled takes a long time.

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.
