Pros

This is a very good agency to work for. NGA has some amazing training and travel opportunities. The monetary compensation is excellent. Flexible work schedules are fantastic. This is one of the best federal agencies with some of the best benefits and policies. There are no longer core hours so you can go in really early and leave early or go in late and stay late. Lunch is no longer required so you only have to work 40 hours a week and not 42.5 like most federal employees. You are also authorized up to 3 hours a week to exercise pending supervisory approval.

Cons

Due to the fact that this is an intelligence agency you may be responsible for analyzing intelligence during the holiday season. You don't have to work on holidays but if you are new to your team you will be expected to work before or after major holidays while the more senior team members will take the day off.

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.
