Pros

good mix of folks to work with...consideration of work/life balance. Interesting work, lots of great experience.

Cons

Incredilbally political. Policy is driving the agency. Science can take a back seat in todays atmosphere. Not much room to move up in the organization. Staff are well paid but not utilized to best extent.

Pros

Flexible schedules; challenging work if you choose to engage. Average to hard workers stand out for recognition admist the too many slackers that are tolerated.

Cons

Unions run the show in the current administration and they seek to protect the lowest common denominator. The flavor of the monthis embraced by senior management with unquestioning vigor. Turf protection and CYA too much a part of the culture. Too many "back office" staff controlling and draining resouces from mission related work. There are a lot of lawyers in this office, and many of them prefer not to do legal work.
