Inspired another recent thread--perhaps we should start a list of agencies and sub-components that have a toxic culture. I'll start:
VA - specifically the Office of Information Technology. What a mess! |

DHS ranks dead last so should be mentioned before VA comes up |

shocking that anything ranks below the BVA. |

DHS is an amalgamation of other agencies, some are awful and a few are okay. |

As someone who will be job hunting in the future, I find this type of information very helpful. Obviously ymmv, and departments, programs and supervisors within agencies will vary as well. Still, it’s very helpful to have a heads up from insiders if there are issues that prospective employees might want to be aware of. |

Both DHS and VA are huge agencies with numerous sub-agencies/components. Each sub-agency has its own work culture, and the culture also varies tremendously even within each sub-agency. DHS may rank last overall; however, I'm sure that there are DHS sub-agencies that rank highly. The Board of Veterans' Appeals, on the other hand, routinely ranks in VA surveys as the worst VA component in terms of work environment. That's quite a feat, considering that VA has nearly 400,000 employees and hundreds of components spread out across the nation. |

People say state is super toxic however I think it is just the type of people state attracts.
Ttt toilet agencies are full of people that would love to work at state. State is full of people that compare it to their t20 friends that went to Google or McKinsey. |

I work with folks from State Department. They have to be the most arrogant federal employees next to all the law enforcement officers (agencies - FBI-CBP-ICE-BP etc). |

| Just look at the rankings online. Don’t touch the bottom 25% with a 6 foot pole. I’m in a top 25% agency and can’t imagine being in a more wonderful place- great leadership, interesting work, smart coworkers |
