      Overall, positive people and mission, with some bureaucratic flaws.

      Pros

      Generally, most people are quite positive and committed to the missions (unlike auto industry). Flexible schedules, family friendly, great work/life balance. Relatively stable, if you can withstand the furloughs...

      Cons

      Limited opportunity for growth, seemingly lack of distinction between top and bottom performers. Subject to the dysfunction of government budgeting process and political winds.

      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

      Great work life balance, good for politicians or getting to know how policy decisions are made, flexible work hours, work from home, gym, nice location, flexibility in work day, lots of leave available, great people to work with, childcare facilities onsite, new building, good cafeteria

      Cons

      All of the work gets contracted out, promotions occur by time spent in position, no motivation or encouragement to do a good job, employees can be lazy and jaded, management is awful and incompetent, quality of work isn't important they only care about filling FTEs and having the biggest groups,
