Great potential. The mission of this agency gas incredible potential for creating a level of political transparency that can set the conditions improved global security.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement is deeply engrained in the culture of the agency. There is an epic lack of self awareness re this shortcoming. The degree of micromanagement is not only demoralizing and disempowering, it stunts the career growth of employees.

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.
