Business outlook
Pros
Relevant mission, tons of ways to learn new skills, especially GIS. Possibly more transferable skills than other intel work. Time off is great. Mostly decent managers (by gov't standards).
Cons
Shift work requirement, advancement opportunities eventually require you to leave your area of expertise most of the time. Pay in DC is only OK. Chip on shoulder across the agency about being less well-known than CIA or NSA.
