What don't you like about working at United States Information Agency?

"In all companies there are contracts that need to be fulfilled. In some industries just following the letter of the contract is enough. The above and beyond does not affect peoples lives or our nations security. At USIS in the position I held it did. The companies work ethic of processing just the minimum of what was needed conflicted with my work ethic of exceeding the need. When it comes to our nations security, you don't need to know why is NOT acceptable.Another area was the unstated acceptance of working hours but not reporting them to keep your statistics up. Almost everyone does so. The company preaches against it but fosters the behavior by the performance measures it uses."
