Pros

Federal benefits. Honor and privilege of being an appointedd officer of the US civil service. Security cleance. Fascinating work.

Cons

Poor management and toxic leadership. No accountability for investigated and proven mismanagement and retaliation. Favoritism, cronyism, and lack of integrity demonstrated by far too many senior officers and senior executives. Competence, quality work, and productivity do not matter.

Pros

Great people, good job security—can easily make a career of being a DIA officer with promotion opportunities, and good work/life balance.

Cons

Intelligence community running a comms shop without a comms-trained lead? That’s the biggest downside. If you’re used to having direct access to the boss, the org chart makes that difficult as well.
