Pros

Low pressure, decent training courses offered, good exposure, you can choose what you want to work on, they try to prepare you well to become a PE. 8 hours of vacation a month, lots of holidays.

Cons

Sometimes it can be very, very slow placed - which can make you bored and less motivated. Salary is pretty low, and raises are not easy to come by. They are getting better, but they still have ways to go. Also, there are a good amount of typical disgruntled, bitter state workers. They often asked me why i worked so hard, which was quite discouraging.
