IT and cybersecurity specialists ranked the lowest among mission-critical occupations in this year’s “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government” rankings. Experts blame failures in leadership.

Federal IT personnel are less satisfied with their work than many of their peers, according to a ranking out this week, and several executives close to the federal IT community say senior leadership may be to blame.
Federal IT and cyber personnel reported a 56.2 percent satisfaction rate, nearly two points below the improved governmentwide score revealed in the Partnership for Public Service’s “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government” report, and a dozen points behind the most satisfied mission-critical occupation group of economists. PPS compiles its rankings annually from the Office of Personnel Management’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data and other surveys it does on its own.
