U.S. Department of Defense Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"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!"

"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."

"By far the best job I ever had. Very sad to see it end."

"I have worked for the agency for 1 year and the old boy system is in full effect and creates a terrible work place environment for outsiders. Using people from outside the beltway to define the term outsiders."

"Great place to work for with wonderful co-workers. I have at my disposal, the newest programs and applications that have passed rigorous inspection."

"Overall, this is a great place to work. We are given freedom to get our jobs done without much interference. If you could get a job/career in the 459th, I would recommend it."

"I loved working for the US military. The travel and time off was one of the reasons I joined. Now that I have reached 20 years, I really like the pay check I receive for not doing anything."
