      Pros

      Great mission tackling the most pressing national security challenges. Great training and ability to manage early and often in your career if that is what you want.

      Cons

      Terrible management, completely drowning in bureaucratic red-tape to the detriment to the mission. Too many egos and one giant popularity contest.

      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.
