Crabs in a barrel - Systems Test Engineer National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Good pay and benefits available

Very slow work environment. Would not recommend if you get bored easily.

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

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.
