National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency reviews

Where to start....people are just really unhappy. Many of us were just passed over during the recent Rank In Person Promotion cycle but I and many others have no clue what to do to be more competitive. I am a technical expert but it seems like management wants only generalists. I am now being told that my performance score will be lowered this year because management wants scores lower. But what if Im doing great work and work hard? Nope, scores will be lower

Government job, very controlling, think Animal Farm. Significant amount of cronyism, nepotism, fraud, waste and abuse. Furloughs are always a possibility, however, that's mainly due to the inability of our congress to make decisions which are more difficult than where take their vacations at.
