Pros

They keep up with newer technology. Some good people there who try their best to make it a good place to work. Good location; lots of stuff to do in the area.

Cons

DMA is full of current, ex, or retired military people who think that they are still in the military and can treat others like they are new recruits. Poor leadership is rampant and cronyism and favoritism rule the agency. Although they have a lot of new technology, the idea that "this is the way we have always done it" rules leadership and at times renders their technological edge useless. There is a lot of duplication of effort and individual divisions refuse to work with each other to streamline their efforts because they don't want to lose funding for their projects. Finally, the place is overstaffed with supervisory personnel and there is very little opportunity for advancement unless you leave the agency. This is a good place to get an entry-level position, get your time in as a government employee and then move on to something else where you can succeed!
