As a hillbilly, I am highly offended at this. He WAS NOT a hillbilly. He was a redneck. Please get your epithets straight.

What?! Hell no. There are definitely prestigious agencies. You obviously haven't worked for the terrible ones. There are plenty that have so much dysfunction that the turn over rate is high.

PP is right that the best ones don't have to use USA jobs. I would argue that our ineffective hiring system is the reason many agencies suck. Last year we had the hardest working unpaid intern you've ever met. She worked circles around everyone else, was from a top school and wanted a federal job. We tried to bring her on but couldn't. She didn't even make the cert on the job, but the people who did were no were near as intelligent and hard working. That basically sums up federal hiring to me.


I don't think your post addresses prestige. Prestige is not the opposite of HR dysfunction.

I 100% agree with the above.


Except there are so many other fed agencies besides for this list. . . Mainly you're missing all the technical ones, but I suppose political appointees would not be qualified for those.
