Pros

Good mission and work/life balance.

Cons

Severe micromanagement. Leadership doesn't understand the technology which leads to poor decisions on how to manage workers. Emphasis is placed on analyst to make PowerPoint slides and word docs rather than use their master degree in GIS. No career growth, expect to stagnate.

Pros

Great co-workers. Lots of time off

Cons

Poor senior leadership lacks effectiveness. Promotion decisions prioritize diversity objectives over merit, with less qualified junior personnel (mostly female) advanced to Band 4 and Band 5 positions ahead of more qualified candidates. Additionally, daily workloads are insufficient to fill an 8-hour shift.
