What are your coworkers at U.S. Government like?
Лучший ответ сотрудника
It seems to be getting better, recently.
Most of my peers are new and extremely competent. Political leadership is lacking direction and some capabilities to lead. Union employees on the whole are underperforming and uninspired.
No different than any other organization except many of them have served in the military or are in the military. There is a strong sense of duty and mission accomplishment amongst them all. Finally, the organization is probably a little older than in other organizations.
