You will learn about critical national security missions and functions as well as the see some of our best and brightest minds.

Support across cross-cutting divisions of the agency is tepid at best and sound decisions for the enterprise are silenced in lieu of historical habits or the status-quo.

Pros

Great programs if you are into Nuclear Weapons Development and like to work closely with the National labs. The tasks you are given can be challenging.

Cons

All of the work areas do not have windows, which can make the environment feel confined, especially since employees are required to work there daily. The Cost Estimators’ section is particularly problematic because the space is small, can be overcrowded and is the only classified section. It frequently becomes very warm in there, and there have been recurring issues with ceiling leaks. There are also concerns related to management style. One supervisor closely monitors employees’ time and their “away” status on Microsoft Teams, which can feel like micromanagement. Additionally, expectations for NQ-04 employees are very high, and even small mistakes can lead to an unsatisfactory performance rating, regardless of the effort put into the work.
