Department of Defense Employer Reviews

I enjoy the diverse work environment and the challenging work assighments.

I enjoyed working with the government, and had to opportunity to exceed expectations in many areas. There were ample training opportunities. Challenges and development of processes kept the work interesting. My manager was fair and the culture and co worker cooperation made for a relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend government service as a rewarding – more...  career. – less

Good to work for only thing is barely saw any supervisor around and they showed up maybe once every 1-2 weeks

We have a somewhat flexible schedule, with telework permitted, and annual leave and sick leave. Great benefit package.

I grew up in the Navy.The hard work enhanced the values that my mom had tuaght me. I loved the work schedule.

I really enjoyed working here. Sometimes the women I worked with got a little too gossipy, but other than that, they really looked out for everyone.

Productive workplace with opportunity for growth. Began as an intern in 2007 as a GS-07 employee and worked my way up receiving 2 promotions. Now, I am currently a GS-12 and serving as a Team Lead for two programs in in Information Assurance (IA) division. I love the people I work with. I would have to say the hardest part of the job is dealing with – more...  the day to day problems that arise. With that being said, it keeps the job both interesting and challenging while enabling me to improve/expand upon my problem solving skills. The most enjoyable part is again, the people. I work with smart, outgoing, and individuals I can look up to. I have an awesome supervisor as well who is a great leader and sets a great example for all to follow. I've learned a great deal about information security and about vulnerabilities and the importance of mitigating those risks. I took the Security+ exam and passed the very first time without any background knowledge of IT and/or security. I learned how to be a great leader and recognize potential pitfalls before they arise. I have great interpersonal skills, organizational skills, and communication skills as well. – less

The work is satifying, but is difficult to maintain for long periods of time. Live in crowded living quarters, but experience multinational environments.

Never know what to expect and always moving to another job. People actual like their jobs and work for a purpose rather than a paycheck.

A typical workday consist of the daily maintenance, and review of Status Accounting requirements on assigned material for both, aviation and missile commodities. Provide data management for aviation and missile weapon systems. Reviewed and implemented new/revised data loading procedures. Provided inventory of all managed common item documentation and – more...  monitored for completeness and accuracy. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the daily changes (sometimes more than one change a day) for the avaition and missile systems. The most enjoyable part of the job, as well as what I learned, is all the different units/departments that make a whole. – less

Great Career- Great opportunity- Outstanding leadership opportunities - Outstanding educational opportunities.

The program is a 2 month on and two month off program. I am paid while on shift and unpaid while off. I am in a Project Management and Quality Assurance role for this program. I work with a great team of professionals, and have enjoyed the program. The Government funding has not allowed for contract renewal. My day to day operations utlized managerial – more...  skills as well as my technical skills. – less

I wanted to come to work. I wanted to do my job and more. I left because I do not write well and it's also politics that I did not advance as I should have.

As I was leaving to go to the PO then I was meeting the movers and shakers but it was too late. I left for a bigger salary and stress like you wouldn't believe.

Department of Defense is a great compnay to work for work for not only on the military, but the civilian side as well. The co-workers are great and the most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that your supporting the war-fighter.

A great work experience providing support for our war fighters abroad.

Really enjoyed our customers and the day to day operations. Long days trying to keep every body happy. Not all managers were qualified managers, the hardest part was not having on hand what the patrons wanted at times. The most enjoyable time was having the opportunity in serving the most deserving ( our Military & Retired military )

Working with The Department of Defense gave me the opportunity to work at the school my son went to. It was great to be able to take my son to work & school within one trip. My day started at 7:15 am and ended at 2:30 pm. It was completely non-stop until it was time to leave for the day. I was the head cashier and ran the cashier line at breakfat and – more...  lunch (about 700 students) daily. Management was great, co-workers were always busy just like me and courteous. The hardest part for me was actually having to resign for re-location. The most enjoyable was the fact that I had time to spend with my son and that I was appreciated by all the Teachers & children. – less

It was always fun having friends working with you and you being able to have people to talk to and they was so caring. Wish i can go back to the good days before we closed.
