wish I never left
Communications Security Custodian (Former Employee) – Corpus Christi, TX – July 14, 2018
Excellent place to work, great agents, small office, great staff. I wish I never left to pursue legal work but was young and naive. If you are lucky enough to work here, dont leave!
Review
IT Specialist (Current Employee) – Clarksburg, WV 26306 – July 13, 2018
Most days are spent directing the contractor for work to be performed per the contract. Answering email is a large part of the work and helping staff get what they need to perform their jobs.
I have learned many things about communication and leadership while in the project management roles as well as lead roles for other tasks. Management is very helpful at providing support.

Most satisfying job I have ever had
EEO Invstigator (Former Employee) – Richmond, VA – July 12, 2018
The best job if you want to serve the country, not necessarily in uniform. Most satisfying meaningful job I have had with unequaled opportunities to participate in challenging and diverse investigations around the world. You are only limited by your own imposed limitations in this position.
Pros
Job satisfaction
Cons
Demanding schedule
Make a difference daily
Supervisory Special Agent (Current Employee) – Washington, DC – July 10, 2018
The work is extremely important. Lots of administrative hurdles to doing the simplest things. There are tons of different things you can do on this job but you have to go out and find them. Serve in the US or abroad. Overall: recommend.

Hard to get in but worth the wait
Associate Chief Security Officer/Acting Chief (Current Employee) – Kapolei, HI – July 5, 2018
Great if you're an agent, not so great if you're professional staff. If you stay in one location your whole career without having to transfer it may be better. If you try to transfer as a non-agent they will give you the worst possible time.
Good people doing great work
Intelligence Analyst (Current Employee) – Kansas City, MO – June 30, 2018
Hard working people with passion to serve and protect. Truth and justice will always prevail. It is a culture like no other with blended professions of many talented people who go unnoticed and still work hard everyday to serve and protect the country.
my 27 years as a Special Agent
Special Agent (Former Employee) – New York, NY – June 27, 2018
Great job. Great people. Great cases. I worked for the F.B.I. for almost 27 years and was sad to leave. The mandatory retirement age is 57. There is adequate promotional opportunity and the job is VERY rewarding. Management has always been a source of trouble.
Great agency
Stenographer/Secretary (Former Employee) – West Palm Beach, FL – June 25, 2018
This agency held a superior rating; however, recent publicity has diminished its credibility. Unfortunately, a few top individuals tarnished the reputation of this agency.
Pros
Salary/benefits
Cons
Recent publicity
Productive

Hours of operation 8-4:30
Ability to expand learning in varying positions that enabled advancement. Enjoyed the atmosphere family environment; hard to accept the existing dynamics where the morale is moderate to low. Overall individuals work hard to support the mission and enjoy what they do.

Varies by position
Professional Staff (Current Employee) – HQC – June 20, 2018
This is a great place to work, but if you're not an agent and you plan to stay until you are eligible for retirement, it's essential to develop a career strategy in order to move up. You should also plan to move at least once in your career, if not more.
Fast-paced and hurried approach in problem-solving
Assistant Unit Chief / System Lead (Current Employee) – Washington, DC – June 8, 2018
Strategic planning to resolve space management issues for workforce to workspace or workplace.
Learning how to adapt and align with the culture to meet the mission requirements.
Management is reactive to the needs versus master planning based on past precedence or quantitative knowledge.
The workplace culture appears to thrive organizationally by communicative and collaborative efforts. It also proves to know the right people to move successfully in your personal career advancement.
Non-communications from senior executive management and leadership in addressing how the mission addresses the long-term vision of the enterprise.
Helping People.

Really good place to work
Human Resource Generalist (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – June 7, 2018
There is really nothing negative to say while I work for the company. It was a great place to work. With a lot of opportunities for advancement within the company. Great benefits along with being able to travel around the world.
Interesting work

Always have ability to learn something new. No two days are ever the same. Offers challenging work assignments and interesting work projects. Most employees are passionate about the mission.
Great Rewarding work
Special Agent (Current Employee) – New Haven, CT – June 1, 2018
Best job/career possible. Everyday is different; there is a fair amount of time in the office doing paperwork--if it's not documented it didn't happen! Lots of paperwork. But, chance to make an actual difference impact in people's lives and protect the country.
Pros
Meaningful work, great people.
