It's Government Work

Pros

It's federal service, so the work is secure and the agency is R&D funded, so you don't typically have to worry about sequestration when the rest of the Government shuts down.

Cons

If you are an Engineer, they will love you here. If not, prepare to be told you don't know anything. Despite appearances the majority of work is contracted out, not performed by employees. Workforce is promoted based on who you know, or what you are willing to comply with, not your experience or ability. Telework it not standard practice and only gets approved for certain people. Independent thinking will get you nowhere.

Flexible with schedule. Good benefits. Decent pay.

5 Directors (including acting Directors) in 4 years.... Recent leadership changes seem to be an improvement but time will tell.

Pros

Management made recent changes, things are looking up now. Yearly bonus if you can show you contributed significantly.

Cons

Still on the GS scale, so it's hard to move up past the journeyman (GS-13 level).
