Pros

If you end up on the right team, it will be a great experience, but end up on the wrong team, and it could be a miserable experience. However, it's easy to move around, and if you are skilled, they will put you in a position to make a difference. I grew more in my 2 years at the IRS than I did for 10 years at other organizations.

Cons

Some teams are more dysfunctional than others, and you can't really control where you are put when applying. But, after a year, it is very easy to move around, especially if you are skilled.

Pros

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

Cons

-communication from management is not always transparent -when you are at the bottom of the ladder, you get verbal abuse from not only POA and taxpayers (understandable, given this is the IRS), but also management/OJI's. They want to look good to their bosses and will throw you under the bus if they have to in order to save themselves. Even if they gave you instructions that got you in trouble. They SHOULD be supporting you in your function as an auditor, but they'll do whatever is easiest for themselves ultimately. -on job training can be disorganized -bureaucratic culture -like many other companies, a lot of things you're expected to learn by yourself. Such as how to avoid POA delays.
