Pros

The pretty building, Starbucks, Pay, Benefits and some nice people abound. New Director seems to have the balls to get order in the court.

Cons

Fifteen years of experience so I can frankly state, about 70% of the leadership is poor. Engagement is poor. There is a lack of strategic direction and multiple offices doing the same work. The Human Development (the HR arm of NGA) organization uses bullying and intimidation methods to manage people. We have a new Director and it appears he will make positive change. However, it will take time to clean up the "mess." Flatten the organization; the agency will be more efficient.

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.
