Pros

V. Adm Sharp is a great director and the best thing to happen for the Agency in 5 years.

Cons

The "Rank-in-Person" promotion structure is the single biggest killer of motivation. If you like being evaluated for promotion based on a 15+ page package that people may or may not grossly embellish, based on criteria that change year to year, this Agency is probably a good fit for you. For anyone who likes to be considered for promotion by applying to a more challenging role that they feel leverages their strengths, you should take your talent somewhere else. Also, if you aspire to work here, dust up on your understanding of 2014 technology because that's what you'll be working with.

Pros

I have been working at NGA for 3 years and so far the benefits are great. You get 3 hours a week to work out at the gym. You will meet some very smart and young co-workers.

Cons

Allow certain people to telework, not all. Management is terrible, but it's improving
