Well Run Agency

Pros

DIA has a very corporate feel, but it is effectively run. Senior executives are frequently rotated which contributes to the corporate feel, but provides new perspectives and fresh leadership. DIA has such a large set of missions it is fairly easy for an employee to move into new areas and try new things in contrast to the smaller service intelligence centers.

Cons

DIA is reorganized far too often. It is hard to keep up with which office does what and what the office names are. Most employee policies are fairly standard when compared to the rest of the federal government. DIA has a mobility agreement, which is likely a con for many people. A mobility agreement means that the agency can move you at its discretion and deploy if necessary.

Pros

great training, flexible work schedule, you can take up to 3 hours a week for employee fitness during work day, exciting opportunities to work directly with Pentagon personnel and state department.

Cons

budget issues are limiting promotions, multiple re-orgs in one year...low control over where your mission is, director changes every 3 years- so policies change regularly
