People in the office of the principal legal advisor doing immigration work seem pretty miserable.

Really? I’ve been there for work a few times, and it seemed like one of those secretly great agencies. Guess not.

That doesn't mean the work environment there is toxic. The work itself could be a downer.

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

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.

Good to see you again! love your cliched, repetitive posts and so glad you’ve broadened your BVA-bashing from that tired old thread. Could you link that old AFGE survey again? Fun times.

right! but we also need specific sub-components and divisions like some folks have given. super helpful. in fact, I have an interview with VA HCO.

The rankings rank sub components!

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).

LOL so true. That said, I know some pretty awesome spouses for state employees. They usually have to be saints to put up that that ish

OMG THIS. I have a close friend whose husband is at state and he LITERALLY think he is the most important person ever.

State Department has been a shitshow for a while, even before Trump was in office. Some bureaus are better than others, but CS is always second fiddle to FS. CA is a mess, and I am sure DS and OBO aren’t much better.
