Vantaggi

Good mission-driven work and the technical problems are genuinely interesting if you like data at scale. Federal benefits package is solid — health, retirement, and leave are all competitive. Job stability is a real plus, and there's room to grow your skills across multiple programming languages and systems if you take initiative. Most coworkers are smart, helpful, and willing to share knowledge.

Svantaggi

Promotion timelines and processes can be slow and opaque compared to private sector. Some legacy systems and tooling are dated, which means you spend time on workarounds that wouldn't exist elsewhere. Communication between layers of management is inconsistent, and getting clear answers on policy questions sometimes takes longer than it should.

Vantaggi

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Svantaggi

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
