Pros

Work-life amenities Good pay good location outside the beltway

Cons

NGA leadership is clearly not concerned with employee's careers or career development. Career "Services" should be more appropriately called Mission Services.

Pros

The agency clearly is looking toward the future and so there is opportunity for those who want to be part of that effort

Cons

The agency's budget doesn't match its rhetoric and for some reason the agency cant upgrade its technology despite years of investment. I work in IT but its really acquisition and contractors do all the work and I manage the contracts and contractors.

Pros

Good mission and work/life balance.

Cons

Severe micromanagement. Leadership doesn't understand the technology which leads to poor decisions on how to manage workers. Emphasis is placed on analyst to make PowerPoint slides and word docs rather than use their master degree in GIS. No career growth, expect to stagnate.
