Weathering the storm - Manager National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Pros

Relentless focus on mission, trying very hard to not RIF (lay off) employees during downsizing/restructure

Cons

It is a difficult time for any federal agency. NGA leadership is solid, but in this era any day can bring new lunacy from above. Due to large force reduction, anticipate limited opportunity gain entry, and limited upward mobility within, for the next 18-36 months minimum.

Pros

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

Cons

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.
