      Great place to work, but it depends on the office and your goals.

      Pros

      1. Opportunities to broaden career by working in other offices. 2. Employees on a "technical track" are financially compensated on par, if not above, managers.

      Cons

      1. Middle management is sometimes pulled from the technical ranks but not effectively trained on how to manage their employees. 2. Speaking of management, some offices are still operating from a paradigm suited to an older generation, which is at odds with recent, younger college graduates.

      NSA Good Place To Work...If You Are In It For The Long Hall

      Pros

      The flexibility in your work schedule was insane. Everyone enjoys having a good leave program and enjoys using it. The work is also something you could never do anywhere else. It is extremely exciting work and you do feel like the work you do matters.

      Cons

      It's a big beurocratic mess. As such, promotions can be a nightmare. In my instance, the person who was deciding if I should get a promotion was my bosses bosses boss and they were managing 200+ people and hardly knew my name. Salary also doesn't move up very fast. Although, if you can hold put until you get to the upper ranks; you will have a good salary for your level of responsibility.
