Pros

Do/see/learn some really cool things while helping to protect your country. You can meet some really smart, hardworking, and innovative souls in many offices. There is also no end to the variety of positions a smart analyst can take over a long career. You can easily reinvent yourself every so many years to stay fresh.

Cons

Too big of a bureaucracy. Slow to innovate. For every hard worker, there are a couple of slugs just slinking around making a paycheck.

Pros

Extremely stable job - the joke is that they won't fire you even if you do nothing, they'll just promote you. I would definitely recommend the NSA if you are a math major or if you work in any department other than business.

Cons

Business is not the NSA's strongsuit
