U.S. Department of Defense Reviews

What is it like working at U.S. Department of Defense?

Physician / Doctor, Radiologist in Hinesville:
Pros: I am happy to be a part of a team that supports a very important mission -- the safety and security of our nation. The pace of work is very manageable, in part because the systems aren't optimized for high through-put or peak efficiency like I've seen in the private sector.
Cons: It is always an uphill battle to get new equipment, hire personnel, or make improvements. Also, it is nearly impossible to get rid of employees who are underperforming (a small percentage, but not insignificant).
A good place to work.

Pros: Variety of work assignments keeps things interesting.

Very fulfilling working with Civilians and military members.
