Pros

International legacy of historical significance. Interesting and demanding work. Good benefits within US government restrictions. Dedicated colleagues. First line supervisors are open and receptive to new ideas.

Cons

Coordination between business units was not optimum. Not all Investigators were familiar or used to working with Intelligence Operations or Intelligence Analytical staff. Therefore, they did not leverage all capabilities. Sometimes long hours and weekend work for offices with limited staff. in 2014, the business plan was too aggressive for success which resulted in workforce reductions.

Pros

there are no pros for this company.

Cons

poor management lots of favoritism and sweeping things under the rug more worried about getting people to work than their actual safety and well-being low morale firing of good employees rewarding people for producing numbers but not actually doing work favoritism and more favoritism supervisor has 2 sisters working for her who can do as they please...and a close friend who misses weeks of work at a time but expects other employees to come to work same day after surgery. lack of professionalism overall in the entire building since the time i left, 90% of the people i was working with have left or been fired. not allowed to talk or laugh your bathroom breaks are timed and written down everytime you get up from your seat, youre timed.

Pros

good environment, flexibility, timely salary.

Cons

only flattering can be helpful for advancement which makes the environment sometimes unbearable. beware your achievements are most likely not to be recognized until you are not fav of your HOD. no policy regarding HR, promotion or anything isn't implemented. timelines are expected to meet only by employees, management is living in "Ram Rajya". not to forget the very low salary factor !!
