Pros

The government is situated between academia (have to make a dissertation) and industry (have to make a profit). We can do applied research that might be too risky for industry. It's great!

Cons

I'm not sure if it's Congress or HQ, but we are in constant replanning. This makes it nigh on impossible to get things done anymore.
