Pros

I really enjoyed working around some of the brightest people in the world and working on projects of national importance. The technology, science, and exposure to real world problems is first rate.

Cons

Big fish in a small pond - there's nowhere else really to job shop against, and they know this. Salaries are pretty good once you get a few bumps, but people work here for decades, so promotions are slow. Layers of bureaucracy drag some people down.

It's a good place to be from... Better if you're technical...

Pros

* still has a pension and 401K (pension doesn't matter much anymore to younger staff) * on-site gym * great opportunities for tech staff to work on a variety of impactful projects

Cons

* support staff are significantly undervalued * a chosen few advance by stepping on others and getting rid of them when they get in the way * much better for technical staff than support * largely putting all of their eggs in the government basket foretells a crash and burn if/when fiscal cliff happens * used to be a good place to work - now it's a good place to be from
