It's okay

Depending on your team and upper level management the job can be cool. But there is no flexibility to work from home at all. All in all my experience was okay.

Gov Job

An organization in continuous transition. IT outsourced and cyber has renamed old disciplines confusing things further. Pockets of useful work but not for a career.

Interview Questions

Why do you want to work at NSA? Do you rather have your own office or work in open office? Why? If you are working in the office and others are really loud, what would you do? (After describing what they do) Is this the kind of work you want to do? What would make you want to come to work every day? On a scale from 0 to 10 how detail orientated are you? Give example. When you have to leave NSA one day, how would you define success? This is for a software/ hardware design engineer position and I got no technical question at all.
