Business Outlook
Pros
Support for innovation and initiative, also support for families, diversity, telecommuting. I'm a weird guy and management/people accommodate (almost celebrate) my idiosyncrasies. Eggheads and freaks are all part of the family. Great benefits, good working conditions. I've only been there for eight years and am still somewhat of a newcomer, that's how much people like it. Also, the pension, while smallish, is unlikely to be sold off to support some executive boondoggle. Jobs like this are hard to find these days.
Cons
Government bureaucracy, highly politicized environment, proliferation of middle management, rigid pay scales with limited upside.
