Pros

Meaningful and impactful work. Lots of bright, dedicated, skilled, and collaborative coworkers. Strong ethical true north (literally in the Value Statement). Relatively great benefits.

Cons

Your experience may vary widely based on your team / organization. Some colleagues and managers may not live up to the aspirational values. Public funding sources are political and not always stable. High regional cost of living (especially housing) can outpace compensation.
