Pros

My direct supervisor is fantastic, and the environment is generally very collegial and friendly. The work is challenging and keeps me on my toes.

Cons

Inconsistent messages from people in top positions create a very frustrating work dynamic sometimes. All of the examiner positions are very writing intensive.

Pros

Some of the nicest and most helpful people, but fewer as they keep getting laid off or pushed out because of toxic leadership. The mission is a high priority for some. Great place to work for a very short time, then go.

Cons

Poor leadership, constantly changing without taking any time to understand impacts. Decisions only benefit a small group of friends who only respect other former FBI agents and their contributions. Morale is in the gutter and it comes off as intentional. Women are disappearing from management ranks and only tolerated as long as they are agreeable. People get resources based on popularity with the in group so some teams burn out while others have little to do.
