DIA needs to find their niche in intel - SENIOR STAFF OFFICER US Defense Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Career advancement Flexible with schedule

Sometimes there's a bit of conflict with other staff who feel like they should value people based on whether they are fed or contractor

You have a chance to be at the center of defense policymaking. The salary and benefits are very competitive. The Thrift Savings Plan is a great benefit. PTO and sick leave are much more generous than in the private sector. The federal government is one of the few workplaces that still has a defined-benefit pension plan. The pension isn't huge, but it is enough to keep me out of poverty in retirement.

The promotion and employee evaluation system does not make sense. Toxic leadership, constant reorganization. I personally do not agree with the current leadership in D.C. and their policies, and that creates ethical quandaries for anyone working there.
