Pros

The mission and value of what NGA does is outstanding. For younger, new employees there are lots of great opportunities.

Cons

The career management system is absolutely awful for mid to late career people. Promotion process is a complete disaster, but will likely get changed in the coming years. At times the Agency can get overly into political flavors of the day and lose focus on the mission.

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.
