Some people like it; I didn't. - Analyst National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Pros

If you like that sort of work, it's great; GEOINT really isn't something you can do anywhere else, of course.

Cons

Most non-clerical employees have to put in a year working rotating shifts. It's terrible. Some people do ok with it, some people just don't. Middle and upper managers tend to make decisions that are best for their status and career. The employees who actually have to live with it are generally consulted in a perfunctory manner once the decision has been made.

Pros

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

Cons

Poor senior leadership lacks effectiveness. Promotion decisions prioritize diversity objectives over merit, with less qualified junior personnel (mostly female) advanced to Band 4 and Band 5 positions ahead of more qualified candidates. Additionally, daily workloads are insufficient to fill an 8-hour shift.
