Pros

This is the only place in the world where an American can work on behalf of our government to steal secrets to benefit national security.

Cons

Mediocrity is the norm. The lack of accountability among senior staff and mid level managers in the DO is astounding. Toxic work environments and bullying isn't the expectation, but it is accepted, so is harassment and discrimination. Quality and meaningful work would more than make up for the broken culture if it existed.

Pros

Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

Cons

Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
