Pros

Love the four day work week (10 hour work days). Hybrid teleworking available in some departments. Good health insurance and retirement.

Cons

PTO accrual is very slow for exempt employees. Certain parts of the site can be very misogynistic. Like any government site, levels of red tape and resistance to change.

Pros

- Four 10-hour workdays weekly, plus time balancing - Very strong job security - Work-life balance is very good - Work culture is good, the people are very down-to-earth and relaxed - The work supports an important, meaningful mission

Cons

- DoE work pacing is very slow at times - Opaque promotion system that seemingly rewards less experienced new hires much more than long-term employees, with respect to time in grade
