      Stop the belly aching! NGA is an awesome place to work!

      Pros

      At NGA you can do nearly any job. The work is and plentiful. Work-life balance is unsurpassable, in my opinion. Maxi-flex schedule is one of the greatest benefits at the agency.

      Cons

      1) Financial disclosure is a complete invasion of privacy. I am not sure I want to trust the government with my info following the OPM hacks! 2) New leaders need training before taking leadership positions. 3) The locations where NGA is located are EXPENSIVE!

      Some people like it; I didn't.

      Pros

      If you like that sort of work, it's great; GEOINT really isn't something you can do anywhere else, of course.

      Cons

      Most non-clerical employees have to put in a year working rotating shifts. It's terrible. Some people do ok with it, some people just don't. Middle and upper managers tend to make decisions that are best for their status and career. The employees who actually have to live with it are generally consulted in a perfunctory manner once the decision has been made.
