If you are looking for a first-time Federal job, or a promotion in a new agency, check out the 2023 list for the Best Places to Work by the Partnership for Public Service.

I like this list because it keeps me familiar with the agencies and their missions. Go to the actual page and see many more Best Places to Work for Midsize Agencies, Small Agencies and even Agency Subcomponents. The rankings are based on questions of current federal employees. You can see that NASA is a favorite place to work. Read the full list here.
