Pros

Small Agency - If you're smart and work hard you can majorly impact your program or department. Lots of professional satisfaction. Flat Agency - Again, if you work hard you will be recognized. I've met with senior management on projects and I'm just a GS-13. SES level execs will make time for you and are interested in your opinions.

Cons

- The vast majority of staff are lazy and not very bright. Can be hard to stay motivated in this environment - Some management needs to retire. They are old school government that acts like they rule a fiefdom and are ineffective. Their departments suffer as a result. - Negotiate hard when you come in. Have other offers in hand. HR will meet whatever the other offer is. If you don't they will low ball you and then keep you there.

Pros

Very nice co-workers, and leadership, especially in the CIG unit. Great work/life balance. You will learn the intricacies of various grant programs while also learning how to stay away from the dysfunctional mean people who occasionally inhabit the nooks and crannies within the organization. Those who remain after the Trump purge are really troopers and dedicated public servants without whom this country would fall apart. I was a recent hire, I knew I was next on the Trump chopping block so I opted to take the deferred resignation program.

Cons

Slow pace of work. You are doing very little actual "planning" work. Can be kind of boring. You're just making sure all of the check boxes are checked for the grant program.
