Pros

I think that the mission of NGA is unique and there are lots of learning opportunities. The potential for career growth is also excellent. NGA has a lot of upper level position ( meaning those earning better than 100K).

Cons

Sometimes NGA can be a closed environment, but I believe that will cange with the current change in Administration. The U.S. government as a whole is opening up how it does business.

Pros

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

Cons

Poor senior leadership lacks effectiveness. Promotion decisions prioritize diversity objectives over merit, with less qualified junior personnel (mostly female) advanced to Band 4 and Band 5 positions ahead of more qualified candidates. Additionally, daily workloads are insufficient to fill an 8-hour shift.
