U.S. Department of Defense Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Joining the marines out of high school was a great choice, learning how to hold accountability of your subordinates and peers. Maintaining a strict work schedule with accountability of over 2 million dollars worth of gear and equipment."

"Really nice work environment . People I work with are nice."

"An amazing work space, a lot of opportunities for different technical spectrums."

"Very good company to work for. I recommend them."

"I've worked for the Defense Media Activity since Aug. 2010. Overall it was a good place to work. Gained much valuable job experience. Unfortunately, the organization is moving out of state in the near future."

"Love the job but they tend to move up the people that can't do their job to get them off the floor"

"I have worked for the Federal Government for 3 years and I love my job. But, there is not a lot of room for advancement unless you are an officer."

"Take this with a grain of salt, my experience is limited to one particular office of one building of one agency under the Department of Defense. I found the work very limited as in you were given such a small piece of the puzzle, that the solution was trivial and required no brain power. I think that environment is not a good place for a young career professional, not enough opportunities to learn and grow. Very flexible work schedule, though that varies by office so ask before going with that. Overall, not recommended for young professionals."

"I have worked for the Department of Defense for eight years, and find the majority of DoD Finance/Resource Managers outstanding, hardworking, extremely ethical individuals. By contrast, after two years in Defense Intelligence Agency, I find the majority of the senior leadership in the COCOM to be the exact opposite when it comes to financial accountability and ethics."

"If you're looking for job security, then look no further. Flexible hours and real meaningful work is what I was looking for and I get just that!"

"Over all a good company to be employed with early in a career. Gaining valuable experience and in site. Drawback is military obligation requirements."

"I worked as a subcontractor for the DoD doing classified work."

"I've worked for DENCOM as a contractor for 2 years. There have been many technical challenges which we overcame. We are treated by the government employees as part of the team, and treated very fairly."

"I have been with the Department of Defense since 1997 - it has changed quite a lot in that time. In my area, the stress can be very high, with little visibility and recognition. Sometimes this is very disheartening and the work doesn't seem worth the heartburn. However, the people you will meet are pretty amazing."

"Govt position. Nothing really special. Politics was a big issue as most govt. work is."
