Pros

Work/Life balance is generally pretty good, and management is *generally* good about allowing people to work from home if they want to. The people who work here are generally pretty earnest about their work and believe in the mission, and are usually pretty friendly. Work can be challenging, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore your own ideas.

Cons

Decisions often get made either with complete consensus from everyone, or behind other people's backs, with a lot of insider politics going on. Much ado is made on working together without any follow-through. The union is too powerful, often sticking up for poor performing employees, which decreases morale for everyone else. Annual performance agreements are mostly meaningless, and there is a lot of paperwork to get anything done.

Pros

Work-life balance, respect of superiors and colleagues, sometimes you still get to further the mission.

Cons

Most of the time the administration slows down progress on projects and cases. Morale is at an all-time low.
