Pros

Work - life balance is top notch. Very flexible. Low stress. Benefits are good. Salary is very high for the low level of output expected.

Cons

Complete lack of accountability across the organization. No urgency to accomplish work and to do it well. Senior management is scared about performance metrics, improving workflows, and using data to inform decision making. Management does not trust employees. The best work is contracted out to consultants. Vacation is poor for those just starting out and to get at the high end you have to work there your entire career. Compensation and quality of role is based on how long you have been at the organization, not the quality of your work.
