Pros

Will likely be put on an interesting portfolio and have the opportunity to experience high-level engagement and international travel around technical issues.

Cons

Terrible and entrenched management with a history of covering disciplinary issues, gaslighting and toxic management who violate hiring norms and practices to advance favorites with no repercussions, lack of adequate staffing and micromanagement, treated and verbally told employees are disposable but employees blamed for poor management planning and resource constraints, consistently ranks at the bottom of the federal workforce for morale
