Pros

Great Mission and hard not to feel pride in being part of it Agency leadership has set a course for much needed modernization

Cons

Mixed workforce -- those who will take it to the future and those that are stuck in the past. people should suspend judgement on mission talent alignment until they see it in action

Pros

The pay and benefits are on par with private industry. Depending upon your account, you get numerous opportunities to see the world and impact global security.

Cons

It's government work after all and with that comes bloated bureaucracy. Their acquisition cycle is abysmal - do not expect to see, much less use, the latest and greatest GIS software tools (you know, all the stuff you used in grad school). And it almost takes an act of God to get promoted.

Pros

Money, benefits, and opportunities are good. I have had an excellent career. Training, travel, and work-life is excellent. The government is one of the few places you can still get a retirement pension.

Cons

Every year NGA becomes a little more bureaucratic.
