Pros

Comfortable work environment for many people. Work-life balance is a plus. Vacation days, health insurance, and 401K are decent.

Cons

Very difficult to get your foot in the door. Compensation is not often competitive - even for strong applicants. Promotional process is not transparent and increase amounts are limited. Would be a difficult adjustment for strong candidates from private sector.
