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.
