My only reporting experience with them was within the DOD, and I found them to be both professional and thorough.

Down at the unit level, they nitpick every little thing - it appears that it is the agencies with a lot of horsepower are the ones being catered to; probably via some serious strong-arm tactics and threats to careers if they don’t look the other way...
