Special Assistant at U.S. Department of Defense
in Washington, DC

What do you like about working at U.S. Department of Defense?

"Job security and federal pension, easy access to the Pentagon, parking at the Pentagon, food choices at the Pentagon, federal transit subsidy for the Metro (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority ), and the ability to tele-work."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Upward mobility is non-existent, there will be three more years of pay freezes, you will have to pay more into your retirement -which represents a 5% pay loss, there is an entrenched bureaucracy which is stubborn, is not open to new ideas. Lastly: Good Luck!"

What don't you like about working at U.S. Department of Defense?

"Maniacal boss, little chance for promotion, pay freezes, pay reductions, little ability to expand into different arenas."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Actually talk to and engage my employees. Learn about their previous experiences and see what else they bring to the table. Offer tele-work as a daily option. Let employees ex-tern at other agencies and see if they would like to move on or bring back new ideas from other partners. Get an external look from private enterprises to see what we could do differently and more efficiently."
