      A very good place to work

      Economist/analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Professional organization with a clear mission. Run by professionals who are mainly chosen for their effectiveness and track record. For example, Obama kept on the Bush era IRS Commissioner Dough Schulman until 2012. You also have job security and good benefits.

      Cons

      Like any bureaucracy, you are limited and restricted by your boss's proclivities and your organization's mission, leaving less room for individual initiative. Also, organization is run mainly by lawyers.

      Pros

      Good work life balance, great learning experience.

      Cons

      Dealing with Taxpayers and CPAs can be a pain as an auditor. Not much potential for advancement with hiring freeze. 2014

      Important work assuring that taxpayers pay their fair share and that money comes into Treasury for the Government

      Pros

      I love the work/life balance; even as a senior manager I work reasonable hours. Great people work here--dedicated, ethical, honest, and doing the best they can when large taxpayers hold most of the chips.

      Cons

      Political and regular beatings (figuratively) from Congress. I've worked here 20 years and it's the worse it's ever been as far as the politicians beating up the agency. With ongoing cuts in funding pay raises have been small, furloughs (days off without pay) happened last year and there's no money for training. We cannot hire and so we are doing less with less. Not smart for the equivalent of the accounts receivable department for the government.
