Great
Great place to start your career. The government gives young people lots of responsibility early. Your first couple of promotions should come pretty quickly. After a time (5-10 years) you may feel stuck or burned out. Then go to the private sector. Do NOT become a dragging, burned-out lifer.
Typical Government ups and downs
Highly varied depending on agency, national politics, desire to have a data-driven culture. A lot of job quality depends on the desire and ability of IT department to provide support.
Pros
Government benefits
Cons
Very old technology
Government
The Federal Government is what it is. It's hard and complex with stress beyond description. It's challenging and offers few rewards. But, anyone that can accept all those negatives will find it self satisfying beyond self gratification. It is what it is.

A career In public service is an honorable career. It is very rewarding, as there is much to learn about the world, without the profit restraints imp

Pros
Unlimited opportunities for growth
Cons
Can be a little too laid-back for some hard chargers.
Review follows
Some areas were high tech and exciting, some were stressful, and some had too much paperwork. Mentoring was more than adequate and schools to upgrade your skill set were always available. There was also adequate time and equipment to improve your job insight. I enjoyed the techie stuff. The hardest part of the job was when military/political enemies made uncalculated moves. Culture was supportive. Management was supportive. I learned much about DoD, IC. Mil, etc.
Pros
great software, important "target" material
Cons
odd and rotating shifts for "what i did".
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!
