Pros

* Great work life balance * Job security * Salary at 40 hrs * Friendly staff * Generous travel accommodation and plenty of training opportunities at major conferences. * Get to lead research projects with leaders in the industry.

Cons

* Lot of lazy government employees that drag down you ability to get work done. * Lot of time spent doing contracting admin. * Lack of management and leadership in most departments. * Limited opportunities for vertical migration unless you move to DC or become a supervisor. Though as a supervisor your hands are bound in being able to discipline poor performers. * Lack of long term vision with management.

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
