Decent, but insular culture
Decent, but insular culture
Generally a decent place to work, and pay tends to be a grade higher than equivalent jobs elsewhere in the federal government.
There's a general lack of accountability, and promotion tends to be based on how long you've been there, not necessarily on merit. There could be better risk-based management.
Be willing to change the status quo if it needs it. "This is the way we've always done it" isn't a good excuse if you value improvement or an understanding of risk.

They asked me a lot of personal and technical questions and had a design challenge for me. I enjoyed it, yet it was so serious. I think you need to prepare extensively, depending on the title you have applied for.
